things and cantaloupes that ooze
images of incomparable sweet

It’s those poetic names and
breathtaking descriptions that
always do me in, like Summer
Icicle, Pink Panther, Rose
Diamond, Fluffy Ruffles, Rain
bow, Gold Dust and Fiesta, all of
which are showy, free-flowering,
early-blooming, sturdy, disease
resistant, delicate, ruffled, crinkle
leaved, and so on and so on.
Once in a while a variety does,
by the end of the season, live up to
all the wishbook hype promised on
die slick, glossy pages. Then
again, more than once I’ve in
vested a mint on some highly
touted variety only to have it ffasle
under the best conditions. And,
with real life gardening what it is,
with May frosts, June insects, July
drought and August vacations.

even the best varieties under

No matter what I plant, it seems
some varieties return year after
year to my garden, and probably to
yours. If you don’t have these, and
would like to try some, just drop
me a note-I’m sure I have some
extra seed flying around:
-“Slug’s Favorite”-a delightful,
loose-leaf variety of lettuce,
bursting with extra-crinkly, deep
green leaves. Each little crinkle
provides a hiding place for the
aeighborhood baby slugs, some of
which you will find in the dressing
after you have finished your salad.
Nice if you like meat with your
vegetables.
-“Sure-to-Seed”-an old favorite
spinach, slow to germinate, shy to
form rosettes, but then taking off
with unbelievable vigor and going
straight to seed, before you get
more than a serving or two. A
favorite of my children, whose
regard for spinach is unprintable.
-“Oh Yuk”!-an especially high
yielding type of red beet, vigorous
in growth and enduring thrnnghmit

the entire season. Mature over
night from tender, tiny golfball
size to soccerball giants. Named
by our offspring, whose inevitable
reception of these served for
tinner is “Oh yuk, beets.”
-“Fantail”-a standby carrot
variety,' characterized by its
ability to break from a single
straight, crisp root into several
useless, fingerlike projections,
upon contact with the tiniest stone
n the garden soil. Beloved by
guinea pigs and entrants in
'wierd” vegetable classes at
lower shows.
-“Butterfly’s Delight”-every
variety of broccoli that I’ve ever
3lanted. The butterfly in question
nere is that dainty, white cabbage
.noth type, which graces broccoli
with its little eggs, which in turn
become those awful green larvae
that play hide-n-seek in broccoli
beads.
My supplies of these varieties
are limited, so run, don’t walk, to
ihe nearest post office with your
nrder.
After all, planting season is right
around the corner.
