Vegetables for the Home Garden 
Many varieties of vegetables are easily grown 
in the home garden. Summer Squash is one of 
these, possibly one of the easiest to grow and 
productive and a fine food. Among some of the 
easily grown vegetables are Beans, Beets, Chi¬ 
nese Cabbage, Carrots, Swiss Chard, Chicory, 
Cucumbers, Lettuce, Mustard, Onions (from 
plants or sets, also seed). Peas, Radish, Spinach, 
Pepper and Tomatoes from plants; Turnips. 
By sowing seed of the above varieties at the 
proper season these vegetables can be very 
easily grown. Fertilize freely for tender and 
crisp vegetables. We suggest our Bearmor 
Brand.
