FLORIDA HOME VEGETABLE GARDENS IN 1955 
Florida is one of the most important commercial 
vegetable producing states of the Union. Florida home 
vegetable gardens offer almost no competition to com- 
mercial vegetables which are grown mainly for ship- 
ment to northern markets. Many Florida families who 
do not get fresh vegetables from their own gardens, 
seldom get them, at least in sufficient quantity for 
good health, from the market. Florida people, city 
residents as well as rural folks, can help solve their 
food problems by producing vegetables in the home 
garden. 
Florida climate and soils are favorable for produc- 
ida fresh vegetables can be grown every month in the 
year, especially during the fall, winter and spring 
months when they cannot be grown in other sections 
of the United States. In addition to producing fresh 
vegetables in your Florida home garden, plans should 
also be made for preserving vegetables from the gar- 
den by canning or freezing for home use, which will 
mean not only better health for the family, but also a 
material saving in cost. For best results, order your 
seeds from the Kilgore Seed Company — Florida’s
