I
remember

was
locked
in

was
designated
as

were
afraid

NEW
VARIETIES
Both
beginners
and
old-timers
should
remember
that
the
business
of
improving
flowers
and
vegetables
doe3
not
stand
still.
There
are
strains
and
types
today
that
were
not
in
existence
before
the
ar,
and
each
year
there
are
some
brand
new
varieties.
It
is
a
sound
rule
to
try
something
new
each
season.
In
this
way,
variety
and
interest
will
be
added
to
the
garden.
Plant
breeders
are
constantly
striving
for
new
colors,
more
disease
resistance
and
hardier
and
earlier
plants.
