In Florida the Improved Grothen Globe variety is being reeommen ded especially as a fall to mato. I have grown Groth en Globe here at Raleigh' during the regular season and liked it well eno’ gh to plant it in my garden again this year. I have no experi ence with it as a fali crop but think it is worth a trial Marglobe has performed very, well as a fall tomato. I If the hot weather has| ruined your early greens there is still time to plant! some New Zealand spinach, I which is a warm season I crop. It is not related to J spinach and I have noticed that the boys in my vege table gardening classes who have taken some home! for trial usually come back' for more. I find that most! of the boys in these classes! P m I | ■ Box 283 Phone 54 | I 1 | * CARPENTER - BRASWELL - MULLING-COMPANY Water Well-Drilling Contractors NEWLAND, N. C.
