percentage of them will run to seed before 
forming a bulb. Brown Onion Sets, lb. 25c,

stews, catsups, and other relishes, being 
very popular in the South. After danger 
from frost, and when the ground is warm, 
sow seed in rows 2 V 2 feet apart, dropping 
seed 2 inches apart and covering 1 inch

Garden-Fresh Vegetables 
Are Healthiest 
10 Foot Square Is Large Enough 
Growing vegetables in your own 
back yard is a healthful practice 
from more than one point of view. 
We think of garden-fresh vegetables 
harvested and hour before meal¬ 
time, as wholesome because they 
contain in full amount the vitamins 
and mineral salts which nature put 
in them. But there is another angle 
to consider. The physical exertion 
of gardening is healthful. It is a 
physical culture course in its own 
right, and although it won't give you 
a massage and a rubdown after the 
exercises are over, the open air and 
sunlight will compensate for this 
little oversight.
