All Vegetables Marked ‘fr’ 
are especially suited for freezing 
If you have a home freezer, or a 
neighborhood locker plant near by... 
keep that fact in mind when you plan 
your vegetable garden this year! 
Freezing keeps the bright color, fresh 
flavor, and precious vitamins of just- 
picked vegetables . . . and you'll 
want plenty on hand for healthy, 
thrifty year-round eating. 
We've indicated the best varieties 
for freezing by the symbol “fr” after 
the variety name. But you're not nec- 
essarily limited to these. Almost any 
vegetable frozen when young and 
succulent is generally good ... ex- 
cept those served for crispness, such 
as lettuce, celery, radishes, etc. 
Whole tomatoes, and vegetables with 
high starch content are not recom- 
mended for freezing. 
Freeze only the best quality vegeta- 
bles! Wash and sort them carefully 
. .. discarding any that are overripe, 
bruised or show signs of decay. 
Process quickly according to tested 
directions. Pack and seal in leak- 
proof cartons that can be taken to the 
freezing unit immediately. 
Properly prepared and frozen vegeta- 
bles stay good for as long as eight 
months to a year. By wise planning, 
you can freeze all the vegetables 
your family will need this year!
