and folks who have become disgusted with growing the old varie- 
ties because it went to seed so quickly should try this variety.

inches, stands sun and heat well, and produces heavy cuttings.

With modern methods we can have many garden vegetables with 
very nearly “fresh picked” flavor by canning or freezing them, 
and thus enjoy their delights throughout the year. Your Home 
Demonstration Agent will be glad to give you bulletins on canning 
and freezing, or your locker plant can supply directions for pre- 
paring vegetables for freezing.
