A-B-C OF VEGETABLE GARDENING 



ture of the place in which vegetables are 

 stored the better^ provided it never gets be- 

 low the freezing-point. ^Miere boxes of sand 

 are used^ slight freezings are not likeh^ to 

 seriously injure vegetables, as the sand ex- 

 tracts the frost so gradually that but little 

 harm is done. But hard freezing must be 

 guarded against or premature decay will re- 

 sult. 



It is an excellent plan to bury some of 

 the vegetables named above in a drj^ place 

 in the garden, for use in spring. They will 

 be found as fresh and crisp as when put into 

 the ground, if covered deep enough to pro- 

 tect them from frost.
