Varieties of Seed
We are often asked what varieties of
seed we plant. For the most part. we
stick to the old, well-established varie-
ties, but occasionally try newer kinds
and continue to use them if they are
an improvement over the old kind.
We always liked the Tendergreen
bush beans, but this year we tried the
Gold Medal winner, Topcrop. and find
they are even better. The Detroit
Dark Red beets are still our favorite,
but we have switched from Danvers
Half Long carrots (the old standby to
the newer coreless variety. Golden
Bantam Hybrid Sweet Corn is delicious
and dependable
Also dependable and desirable are
Jersey Queen and Copenhagen Market
cabbage, Early Fortune and Straight
Eight Cucumbers, Great Lakes head
lettuce-with heads as large and firm as
cabbage-Grand Rapids loose leaf let
tuce, Yellow Sweet Spanish onion
plants, Little Gem and Honey Sweet
peas, Saxa and White Icicle radish, and
Firesteel, All State and Bison Toma-
toes.
Even Melons
Good varieties of melons are Golden
Champlain muskmelons, Northern
Sweet and Coles Early watermelons-
also the small New Hampshire Midget
and Wills Sugar-Zucchini and Butter
cup Squash and Sugar Pie pumpkin.
OF course there are other good va
rieties but these are the ones we have
tried and like best. Also by trial we
have found that one packet of seed of
each variety is more than enough for
our family of three, which brings the
cost of gardening very low. We have
large freezer chest this year-now that
we have REA-and have frozen ample
supplies of beans, peas, sweet corn and
summer squash
We always make room for a couple
of rows of flowers in the vegetable gar
den. They are cheerful spot of color
and make more pleasurabIe the task of
wedding and hoeing. Nearly every va
riety of annual flowers is easily grown.
Some of our favorites are zinnias. bach
elor buttons, petunias, verbenas and the
rainbow collections.
Try One New Veoekahye
Each year we also include one new
vegetable that we have not grown be-
ore. For instance, we tried both lima
'eans and soybeans but found our grow
ng season too short for them. We have
llS0 grown broccoli, kale, egg plant,
oil rabi and peppers very success
ully. 1t is an education to watch each
ew variety develop.
Mostly we depend on seeding our to-
natoes directly in the garden with the
Their vegetable seeds. They ripen prac-
cally as soon as the transplants which
'e like to start in late March in the
Ouse to satisfy that annual "spring fe-
err urge. Last year when the Memo
al Day frost took so many set-out to-
latO plants, our garden-seeded plants
ere not up and therefore were not In
red in the least. They produced loads
large ripe tomatoes.
So dryland gardening does definitely

Ewell's-St. Paul Church Notes
Sunday, March 13, is the third
Sunday in Lent, the season when
the spiritual is placed in the po-
sition of first Importance In
everything we do there must be a
priority list; this comes first be-
cause it is more important than
another matter. All we do is
eventually scaled down to how
important we thought certain
matter was for us. Our lives
when appraised reveal what was
of Importance to us. Paul says,
1T is because we Christians real
ize the paramount Importance of
the spiritual that we labor and
struggle" Lent is that time when
We realize the paramount import
ance of the spiritual. The Pastor.
