EAT RAW 
VEGETABLES 
Heat destroys a good por- . 
tion of the health - giving 
vitamins in vegetables. If 
you wish to enjoy the opti- 
mum vitamin ration from 
vegetables, eat them raw as 
often as possible. Delicious 
combination salads can be 
made from raw and un- 
cooked vegetables. Eat car- 
rots, turnips, lettuce, rad- 
ishes, etc., raw .. . for bet- 
ter health. 
DWARF OR BUSH BEANS 
One pound will plant a row 100 feet long; 
about 1 4 bushels to the acre 
HOW TO GROW DWARF OR BUSH BEANS. Make the rows 18 
inches or 2 feet apart, and drop the beans 4 inches apart in 
the row. If the soil is warm and loose, plant 2 inches deep; 
if rather cold and wet, plant only one inch deep. Beans, 
especially the yellow-podded varieties, will rot very easily if 
planted when the soil is wet and the atmosphere is cold. If 
you do not want to run the risk of replanting them, do not 
plant your beans until the soil is warm. Cultivate often but 
never when the plants are wet, as this brings on rust. Pick 
the beans as fast as they become fit to use; this makes them 
bear longer. Special prices to market gardeners. Send your 
list to us for prices.

WORD FROM AFAR! 
“Niarkeena,’’ Mount Lofty, 
South Australia, July 17, 1940. 
Dear Sirs: 
| wish to thank you for your catalogue which. reached 
me last month. | have it well marked with seeds | would 
have liked for my main seed sowing in late September and 
October, including most of your Petunias and Zinnias; 
but because of war conditions, they will have to wait for 
some future date. Owing to the urgent need to conserve 
all dollar exchange for war needs, all flower seeds (ex- 
cept for bona fide gifts and samples) come under the 
list of Prohibited Imports from all non-sterling countries 
and so cannot be imported for the time being. | shall 
keep your catalogue in hopes of being able to use it at a 
later date. Much as | would like to import new seeds for 
my garden, war needs must always come first and so nc 
growl is coming from me. It means we have a long war 
before us and that we just have to pull our belts in a bit 
for the time being. 
Re the seeds | mentioned in my letter to you, which | 
wrote on April 8th. It is a pleasure for me to be able 
to inform you that | obtained a most excellent germina- 
tion out of the 52 kinds sown. The Carnations came up 
very well as did all the other varieties. | think these re- 
sults were first class and speak well, both for your seeds 
and for the growing conditions of this climate of South 
Australia. Best wishes. 
Yours faithfully, 
NORMAN J. SHEARER.
