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 ASPAR- 
AGUS ROOTS rather than seeds, as 
roots produce crop 2 years earlier. 
If seed is used, sow thinly in drills 
in early Spring. Cover to 2" depth. 
Soak seed 24 hrs. before planting. 
Sow in loose, rich, moist soil after 
weather warms up. Thin to stand 6” 
apart. When a year old and in early 
spring transplant in well enriched 
beds in permanent position, 24" 
apart, in rows 20” apart. Set in hole 
so that crown is 8”’ below surface, 
but only cover tips with 3” of soil. 
As plants grow, fill in until level. 
Don’t cut first year after setting. 
Mary Washington (fr)—Thick, tall green 
spears with purple tops. Highly rust 
resistant. Rapid growing, Tender. 
BEANS 
Green Podded, Dwarf or Bush 
Don't plant until the weather is 
warm and settled. 
Sow beans in bottom of furrow, 3” 
to 4’ deep and from 22 to 3¥% feet 
between rows, but do not fill in with 
more than 1” of soil over seeds. 
Press soil firmly over seeds, but do 
not pack hard, Thin to stand 4” to 
6’ apart in row. Bean seedlings are 
likely to be slowed up pushing 
through heavy soil. In such soils, 

cover seeds with mixture of half 
sand and half soil, or sand and peat 
or any other loose, light material 
that will allow seedlings to break 
through easily. 
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. 
—Two scientific facts about beans 
will help produce better crops. First, 
being legumes, they should be in- 
oculated with special legume culture 
listed in supply section. This enables 
plants to manufacture their own 
nitrogen from the air. Second, bud 
drop of the tiny flowers (even before 
they can be easily seen) cuts the 
early set of pods. By spraying with 
a fruit setting spray these buds are 
held on and the early crop increased 
by as much as 100 per cent. 
Black Valentine Stringless (fr)—Hardy, 
early maturing, very productive, Pods, 
dark green, 6-6% in. long, brittle, 
smooth, stringless. Seeds black. 49 days. 
Bountiful (fr—An early, heavy-yielding

for market and home use. Flat, light- 
green, stringless, but slightly fibrous 
pods of finest quality. 47 days. 
Stringless Green Pod (fr)—Large, sturdy 
plants. Meaty round pods, brittle and 
strictly stringless. Medium green pods, 
oval, yellowish-brown seed. 54 days.

brittle. Medium Green. 53 days. 
Plentiful—Productive, early. Flat, me- 
dium green pods, 6 to 7-in. long, strict- 
ly stringless. Choicest quality. All- 
America Medal. 51 days.

long. Strictly stringless. 53 days. 
Beans, Pole 
In warm ground, set poles 4’ to 8’ 
long slanting a bit to the north in 
rows 4’ apart. (Extending north and 
south the poles will be 3’ apart in 
the row.) 
Anchor well as heavy beanvines 
blow over easily. 
Plant 5 to 8 beans about 1” deep 
around each pole, When growth is 
sufficient thin to four plants. 
Sometimes three poles set to form a 
tepee are used and several seeds 
planted around each tepee. 
Caution: To avoid spreading plant 
diseases, do not cultivate or pick 
when plants are wet. 
London Horticultural or Cranberry— 
Hardy, good climber, 5’’ pods flat-oval, 
dark green when young, splashed with 
red, Slightly curved, stringless, little
