VEGETABLE GARDEN 
Like most gardening folks who can manage space and 
time for it, I have a vegetable garden. Here are the kinds 
I grow in it, chosen both for their high eating quality, and 
because they are pretty sure to yield well under average 
conditions of soil, time and weather. Thought you might like 
to try them, too, so offer seeds of them. These seeds should 
give quick, strong stands, for they have all been carefully 
tested to make sure of high germinating power.
