PLANT A VARIETY 
Most every family with a garden plants turnips or 
mustard for “greens” and perhaps a few other kinds of 
vegetables in the late summer. However, they are 
mighty few. The Fall Garden should be nearly as im- 
[)ortant as the spring garden and a full fall garden will 
pay just as well. Vegetables are scarce and higher 
priced in the fall and that is just the time you should 
have a big variety of vegetables in your home garden 
for use fresh as well as for drying and canning.
