Most seed catalogs provide this in formation as part of varietal descriptions. Specific use. Some varieties are best for immediate consumption. Others are ideal for freezing or canning. Some keep well in storage, some don’t. And some are fine for all these purposes. Be sure the varieties you select are suited to the uses you have in mind, Tatnall says. Growth habit and mature size. If you have limited space, look for space-saving varieties. Each year new ones are introduced, including compact forms of squash, cucumbers, cantaloupes and watermelons. Vigor and yield. These qualities depend partly on soil fertility, available water and other growing conditions. It often pays to buy hybrid varieties which offer built in vigor, improved quality and higher yield than standard varieties.

How well a par ticular variety grows in a given locality depends in part on general climatic conditions, including length of growing season. Seed catalogs and packets furnish much of this information. But be alert to conditions in your own garden, Tatnall advises. Factors such as soil depth and texture, and ex posure to sun and wind affect plant performance. Resistance to pests. Select disease-resistant varieties whenever possible. This is especially important for tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupes and other crops subject to destructive wilts, mildews and viruses. Some seeds, such as peas and com, are available treated with a fungicide to prevent rot after planting. Few varieties have inbred resistance to insects, although many tomatoes are now nematode resistant, Tatnall says. However, you can select types of vegetables that are naturally less bothered by bugs. Good examples include carrots, lettuce and butternut squash (reported to be borer resistant). - • » •Use On Most Exterior Surfaces • Dries in 1 Hour • Soap And Water < Cleanup SPECIAL NON ON SALE 7 A i A & • wet spots DRAINAGE • Curing Erosion Problems B| DEC • Poor Yielding Crops ■ • Hillside Seeps • Root Development • Terrace Drainage • Water Table Control 8,10,12,15,18,24” Diameter Available ill For Quantity Pricii MILK REPLACER Medicated For growth promotion and increased feed efficiency ■■ BhPant ! p* REPLACE!!
