TIPS 70
Gardeners !.
Changing Methods

CERTAIN garden pr tic es
~ widely followed a generation
ago have now been proved UNI
wise.
Gardeners formerly allowed
vegetables to grow as large as
possible. According to Harold N.
Coulter, vegetable expert of the
Ferry Seed Breeding Station, this
practice gave higher yield in
pounds, but very often lowered
the quality of the vegetables.
Some vegetables, of course, like
tomato, must be mature to be pal
atable; but carrots, cucumbers.
beets, summer squash, turnips.
radishes and others are more ten
der and tasty when not much more
than half grown.
To keep regular supply Of
vegetables of proper eating size,
gardeners are finding also that it
is advisable to plant oftener than
once or twice a year.
Few gardeners nowadays save
flower seeds. Fine flowers grow
ing in the home garden often are
cross-pollinated by others Of the
same species, making flowers
grown from their seed inferior and
untrue.
