Don’t Overlook These 
Delicacies! 
There are several choice offerings for your home 
garden on this page. Space does not permit us to 
illustrate all of them, but your order should include 
at least three. 
All of us should eat more “greens”—cooked and 
raw. KALE is particularly palatable and is splendid 
“roughage.” 
KOHLRABI has been replacing turnips in early gar¬ 
dens. Very delicate flavor, and does not get strong or 
bitter as turnips do at times. MUSHROOMS are so 
easy to grow, why not include some in this order?
