There is the greatest difference in the world between 

 home-grown vegetables gathered fresh in the morning from 

 one's own garden, and vegetables that have made a long 

 journey in wagons to the wholesale market, and then in 

 the grocer's wagon to his store, before completing the last 

 lap to the consumer. Grow your own, the flavor is dif- 

 ferent, and the quality very much better. We offer below
