Ors Nependable Vegetable yee 
A selected list of varieties most suitable for the home garden follows. In making 
this selection, flavor, freedom from disease and cultural requirements have been 
considered. Varieties which have been superseded are dropped and only the 
better kinds listed. After visiting the many growers’ trial grounds, we offer you 
the following list. Fresh vegetables grown in your own garden will more than 
repay you for your time and care in their added flavor and tenderness. We give 
approximate germination on all vegetable seeds.
