Our vegetable exhibits have attracted much attention at the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society Victory Garden Shows not only 
for their novel and attractive arrangement but also because of the 
many new and worthwhile varieties shown. The “Roadside Stand” 
featured in 1943 received the Silver Medal, while our 1944 exhibit 
“Vegetables growing on the Contour” was given a special award as 
the feature of the show.

northern climate: -—Many of them: were originated at the University 
of New Hampshire and have been well tested throughout the state.
