County commerical rose grower

new varieties of roses named by
All-American Rose Selections,
Inc. (AARS) as 1974 award

Grove, producer of Star Roses, is

Pennsylvania’s ornamental
horticulturists are a factor in the
industry and the production of

pressive. Annually the Chester

LUNCHES DURING VACATION
favorite you can give the kids
two of the food groups at once
the meat group and the breads
and cereals group. Filling for the
sandwich can be frankfurter,
hamburger or cheeseburger, cold
luncheon meat, sliced chicken,
tuna fish, or for that matter, pea
nut butter, or egg salad, or fish
fillet All these qualify in the
meat-fish-poultry-egg group And
cheese, while a dairy product, is
a fine meat substitute Pizza, too,
would contribute to nutrition sim
ilar to a sandwich
As for fruits and vegetables
one of the four food groups
the choices in summer are vast
and delicious. But for children,
especially, I would suggest raw
vegetables such as carrots, radi
shes, tomatoes, cucumber, celery
stuffed with peanut butter or
cheese Olives and pickles offer
variety of taste. The more fresh
fruits your children have the
better.
This is the time of the year
most mothers are faced with hav
ing the kids home for lunch
Summer camps, day camps, or
trips away from home notwith
standing, there are many days
during the summer when the lun
cheon routine brings up the old
question, “what shall I prepare
for the family 9”
Well, the school lunch program
that your children were involved
in during the school year offers
the best pattern the four food
groups The challenge to many
mothers is to do as well for their
children during vacation.
How About a Sandwich
First off, let’s consider the
sandwich. With this American
been growing roses for a longer
period of time, they introduced
miniature roses to the U.S and to
this day are the largest producers
of miniature roses in the world

...feed OMOLENEr..
Let's take a look at OMOLENE, probably the most
popular ration with top horsemen everywhere.
OMOLENE is a “coarse" ration. That is, it’s not
pelleted. It can be fed with good hay or pasture,
and is formulated to adequately supply the
nutritional needs of normal horses.
OMOLENE has a high energy level, which is most
important. The more a horse works, the more
energy he requires. OMOLENE is always Micro-
Mixed with the very best ingredients available.
This exclusive mixing process makes for one of the
most perfect blending of ingredients to be found
anywhere. OMOLENE is meant to be fed right
from the bag, so there's no need to throw off its
researched nutritional balance by adding oats
or other grains.
OMOLENE will give your horses exceptional
show bloom. It will truly “slick them up”,
and it's uniform ... the high quality is in the
handy 50 pound paper bag no matter whether
you buy it at our store or in "Squedunk.”

And then there is the milk
group. For beverages you have a
wide variety of milks whole
milk, skim milk, chocolate milk,
buttermilk. You can flavor whole
milk with fruit juice. Or make
milk shakes, which brings in ice
cream or ice milk You will have
used butter on the sandwiches.
And there’s a cheese for every
taste and pocket book
If you have a cooler day or
evening, soups enriched with milk
will give your child grand nu
trition.
I mentioned egg salad earlier.
A word of caution- On a picnic
or camping situation, you must
be very careful with such mixes
They must be kept cool to guard
against spoilage. But at home
with refrigeration this is, of
course, no problem. Hard-cooked
eggs, a favorite with everyone,
are a delight
The mam point for summer
lunches is they should be fun for
everybody including Mom So
let the kids help prepare things
and lighten your own burden
Properly instructed they don’t
have to make a mess.
And eat out of doors, of course
Use picnic plates and utensils
And isn’t this the best time, too,
to let your children invite their
friends’ It will be less trouble
than inside in the winter.
