tt-THE CAROLINA TIMES : What To Look : For In Vegetable Varieties Selecting a good variety, while it doesn't assure gardening success, is an es sential element in the vegetable grower's success formula. A seed shopper should know more about what he or she is buying than what is related by the attractive picture on the packet, cautions George Hughes, in charge of extension ' horticulture at North Carolina State University. Hughes suggests con sidering these points fn deciding on the variety of each crop: 1. specific use;:: 2. growth habit and mature size; 3. vigor and yield; 4. adaptability; and 5. disease and insect resistance. Some of the best information on these variety characteristics is available from all county Agricultural Extension Service offices in North Carolina. Call or visit the nearest office for detailed information. Hughes makes the following points about variety characteristics: Specific use Some varieties are best for immediate use, while others may be ideal for freezing or canning. Some keep well in storage, and others are fine for all of these purposes. Just be sure the variety you select is the right one for the , uses you have in mind. Growth habit and mature size If you have limited space in your garden, look for space saving vegetable varieties. Each year new ones are introduced look for compact forms of squash, cucumber, cantaloupe and watermelon. Vigor and yield These qualities partly depend on soil fertility, available water and other growing conditions. However, when selecting varieties it often pays to buy hydrids. These are plants that have built-in vigor, improved quality, and higher yield than non-hybrid varieties. - - - Adaptability How well a vegetable variety grows in a given locality is basic to wise selection. This involves general climatic conditions, including length of growing season. Much of this information ia found in seed catalogs and on the packet However, you must also be aware of your garden's own growing conditions that cap affect plant performance, ' such as depth of topsail, and seal texture, and exposure to sun and wind. Disease resistance Select disease resistant varieties whenever possible. This is especially important for vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and cantaloupes, which are subject to de structive wilts, mildews and viruses. Some seeds, such as peas and corn, are available ; treated with a fungicide to prevent rot after planting. This is a desirable feature Insect and other . pest1 resistance Little resistance has been built into vegetable ' varieties by plant breeders, ' although there has been some' progress, such as the devel opment of nematode-resistant tomato varieties. However, if you don't want to be bothered: by bugs, select types of -vegetables that seem naturally less attractive to pests. Ask your county extension agent about this. 'SAT., FEBRUARY 21, 1981 little known Tacts - Research shows that if mothers-to-be want their babies to have strong teeth, the expectant mother should eat foods rich in phosphorus and calcium (Mich as milk and cheese), and vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes.
