white head. The heavy, upright growing leaves are very numerous and being close 
together force the smaller inner leaves to curl over and protect the head. Well 
adapted for use under a wide range of conditions and generally considered the 
most satisfactory strain for the main crop for fall harvest. ;

The Garden — 
HUCKLEBERRY 
Freeze them and store for winter in your 
food locker. 
These Seed Huckleberries or Sunberries— 
Wonderberries—Garden Berries—their botanical 
name is Solanum—they bear fruit from seed 
the first year. 
These pie berries grow big, strong plants 
that bear quantities of fruit the same season 
that. you sow the seed. Some call them Sun 
Berries, others Wonder Berries. Down in Wayne 
County, N. Y., where we saw them first, they 
call them Seed MHuckleberries, first because 
they grow and bear from seed the first year 
and Huckleberries for the reason that pies 
made from them rival the most delicious 
Huckleberry pies that you ever tasted. These 
pie berries are not a freak; they are just a 
mighty good garden fruit.

HOW TO GROW THEM 
Start seed indoors in boxes during February 
and March and when plants are 2 inches high, 
transplant to 3 inches apart, givirig plants 
plenty of room so they will be strong and 
stocky. Put out in the garden when all danger 
of frost is over, setting them about 3 feet 
apart. Give plenty of fertilizer and water often. 
lf fruit is to be cooked for pies or canning it 
can be picked a week after turning black. 
HOW TO MAKE THE PIE 
1 quart of berries, 2 cups sugar, 2 table- 
spoons flour, 3 slices lemon, 1 tablespoon but- 
ter, pinch of nutmeg. Mix flour and sugar dry 
and add the fruit. Cook thoroughly, mash up 
the berries and fill the pie. Some use 1 table- 
spoon of vinegar in place of lemon. It makes 
good pie either way.

Two of the many successful War Gardens we 
visited last summer. The one at the top was the 
property of Mr. S. E. Swanker of Cobb’s Hill Drive, 
and the garden at the bottom belonged to Mr. . 
A. Gould Hatch, 15 Nottingham Circle, both of 
Rochester. Mr. Edward Leenhouts of the Rochester 
Victory Garden Council is shown judging both of 
these gardens. 
CHIVES 
(Allium Schoenoprasum) 
Most useful of the kitchen herbs. A low growing 
perennial that develops into a plant with thick, 
grasslike foliage, somewhat similar to onion tops. 
These tops are used to give a mild onion-like fla- 
vor to soups, stews, salads, meat sauces, gravies, 
omelets, potatoes. The more often the leaves are 
cut the stronger the plant grows.
