ancient copper implements. but they could

other metals. And this natural mixture
Of metals has been found native in the

garden. tells me that French beans

In his garden here sprang up as II by
magic and grew to twice their ordinary
slze. That was the first year.
Next year. when he planted them again,
the beans were smaller, and the third
crop was very poor and of small size.
Probably the ground has not been
worked enough, as has every inch OF
my own land, and the first enormous
crop exhausts the ground.
Then, too. there is such a desire for
big fruit, big vegetables, Of mammoth
growth and beautiful TO look upon, that
the average person does not realize the
fact that vegetables Of smaller size are
often better In quality and flavor.
