Hunt's 
In spite of the fact that the commercial gardener 
can usually supply most vegetables during the sum- 
mer at less than what it costs the consumer in time 
and Jabor to raise them himself, market vegetables, 
no matter how expeditiously and _ scientifically 
marketed, are never as good as those grown in the 
home-garden. 
Besides, there is always the added spice of trium- 
phant achievement in producing the vegetables for 
family use from the home plot. 
If there is space, such crops as mature under- 
ground—potatoes, turnips, parsnips, carrots, and so 
on—can be grown cheaply i in quantity, and may be 
stored in the cellar in autumn and kept until wanted 
for use. Garden space and garden enthusiasm are 
all that are needed to produce greater quantities of 
those staple things of better quality.
