ABOUT NEW VARIETIES 
OF VEGETABLES 
Every year new varieties are introduced and highly praised. Some 
of these new creations are good only under certain climatic conditions 
and cannot be generally recommended to those that grow vegetables 
for the market or they are good for special purposes only. In some 
cases these new varieties prove to be very good in certain localities 
and not so very good in other parts of this big country. A new vari¬ 
ety proves to be a wonderful thing in the region of the Big Lakes 
for instance and wholly worthless in say Florida or Louisiana. Or it 
proves to be a good variety for heavy soils and a poor variety for 
sandy and rocky soils. These are facts known to every experienced 
gardener. 
New varieties are praised up to the sky, the seller plays up all the 
good qualities the new variety possesses and not a word does he say 
about the bad qualities of the new creation. In short the only way, in 
order to be on the safe side is to try a brand new variety about which 
one does not know a thing from own experience on a small scale first. 
Try a new variety every time. To do so is using common sense. But 
try in a small way only. This you must do because this country being 
so big differs widely in many parts as to climatic and soil conditions. 
Growing a new variety in a small way at first is the only way to 
find out about its value to you.
