*K.A.S.—This symbol indicates that the vegetable has been en- 
tered and given an award in the All America Selection growing 
trials in 17 test gardens all over the United States. Many new va- 
rieties are constantly being tested over a two-year period. They 
are rated for vigor, abundant growth, flavor and gerieral quality. 
The few varieties that attain highest ratings are named the A.A.S. 
winners each year. These varieties may be depended upon to 
produce a highly satisfactory crop under most ordinary good gar- 
dening conditions to be found in the United States. 
For FREEZING AND CANNING. Some varieties of vegetables respond 
to freezing and canning better than others. They retain their 
color, shape, texture and flavor after processing. Descriptions in- 
dicate which varieties are considered best for this purpose.
