“Variety is the Spice of Life"... 
They're Different, Interesting and Useful  __ 
Here on these two pages are 14 of the most unusual vegetables. For lack of a better word, we 
call them Novelties. All of them are different, interesting and useful; and all are delicious 
eating in their own way (except Snake Cucumber). The yard long bean, for instance, is as ten- . 
der as Top Crop when young. The mild, juicy meatiness of Trip-L-Crop just can’t be beat; and 
we're giving you the recipes for Huckleberry Pie and other delicious dishes. Every one has a 
place in the garden. Plant a few, or even all of them. Surprise the Neighbors. $
