RECENT INTRODUCTIONS OF MERIT 
Among the newer varieties of vegetables there are many to be highly recommended. Nevertheless, 
it requires several years’ trial to prove that a variety has a place in general cultivation. It must prove its 
dependability as to yield and trueness to type under ordinary garden conditions, and be useful in some new 
way or be of outstandingly superior quality to merit its use in place of older well-known sorts. We have 
listed below along with some of the best of the newer varieties some of the older kinds that are not as general¬ 
ly planted as their good qualities warrant.
