Thanks to their own gardening efforts, 
many American families enjoyed more fresh 
vegetables last year than ever before. They 
learned the true taste of fresh corn and peas, 
picked immediately before being served. They 
were saved the worry about the expense of 
high-priced, commercially raised vegetables. 
Housewives with a good supply of home- 
canned vegetables in the basement need have 
no fears about their family’s food during the 
winter months. Even a garden of only mod- 
erate size may be made to yield enough for 

canning if succession crops are planted.
