Il.v KOBFKT SCHMIDT Garden crops .ire beginning to ' mature and where there are sur ' pluses the question naturally arises, why can't I save my own seed tor next year's crop'' That's a good ' question, but not so easily an I swered. Different crops must he handled differently. The home saving of 1 snapbean and lima bean seed is not 'recommended because of serious diseases Which are carried over on the seed. Certain crops will cross readily in the field and therefore the seed saved will not come true to variety. Contrary to the common idea cucumbers, muskim-tona, ~squ." >> and watermelons will not cross with each other even if planted close together. However, different varieties of these crops wiH cross | with each other Therefore, if y >u have more than one variety Of | watermelons In your garden it would not he safe to save seed. Hot peppers will cross with sweet pep-i pers, and the resulting progeny will all be hot Beans and tomatoes usually are j self-pollinated s() there is no dan | ger of crossing even if different va rieties are planted, next to one an other Com is pollinated by the wind and varieties will mix badly if not isolated. Cabbage, coltards. kale and broccoli will cross with I each other if they bloom at the same time and so will the mustards and turnips. Seed should not be saved from1 hyhfid tomatoes, cucumbers, squash or corn because these are first generation crosses and wiH not come true from (lie seed that you save. In saving Vegetable seed q is very important to use the plant a> the unit of selection and not the individual pod or fruit In other words, save seed from the tx-st plants having the most uniform and highest quality crop. For example, it is a common practice to save the seed from the largest watermelon in the patch But perhaps that mel on was the only one on the vine It would have been better to find a vine with three or four good sized melons and save seed from one of those.
