VEGETABLES FOR 
FREEZING 
The Symbols (fr) following the variety 
names indicates vegetables suitable for 
home freezing. 
ASPARAGUS 
A hardy perennial; will bear over 
20-year period if properly cared for. 
We recommend purchase of ASPARA- 
GUS ROOTS rather than seeds, as 
roots produce crop 2 years earlier. 
If seed is used, sow thinly in drills 
in early Spring. Cover to %” depth. 
Thin plants to 6 inches apart and 
when a year old transplant to heavily 
enriched beds. 1 Ounce will sow 60’ 
of drill. 
Mary Washington (fr)—Thick, tall green 
spears with purple tops. Highly rust 
resistant. Rapid growing. Tender. 
BEANS

seed 114" to 2” deep and 3 to 4” 
apart, Press soil firmly around ‘seeds. 
Thin young plants to about 6” apart. 
Keep cultivated until plants blossom. 
(DO NOT CULTIVATE when blos- 
soms are at prime or when plants are 
wet with dew. Keep vines picked to 
insure a larger bearing period.) Make 
plantings every two weeks for supplies 
throughout the season.

early maturing, very productive. Pods, 
dark green, 6-64% in. long, brittle,

seedsman—and 
nowhere else! 


OLD GARDENER SAYS.... 
One excuse for growing your own vege- 
tables (beside the fact that they cost you 
less) is that you can never buy them as 
good as you can pick them from your own 
garden. 
Don’t be conservative when it comes to 
using your own produce, It costs you so 
little and you get so much that it will pay 
you to try some interesting combinations. 
A special favorite with many is a mixture 
of half Swiss Chard and half New Zealand

Spinach. Somehow this tones down the 
“earthy” taste that some object to in chard. 
And have you tried lettuce cooked with 
young peas? A wonderful combination. 
Young green onion tops with peas is an- 
other. Speaking of green onions, try cook- 
ing them in bunches like asparagus and 
serving with Hollandaise sauce. A real 
treat for epicures! 
And, if you have a freezer, try freezing 
clean washed mint for winter use in fresh 
mint sauce. Remove flower buds and 
course stems before freezing.
