Go out and look at your chrysan
themums. The brown part should be
cut off now, leaving room for new
spring growth. Every two to three
years mums should be divided to
insure healthy, vigorous blooms.
Last week I wrote of new lettuce
seeds on the market. While looking
through a magazine. I was impressed
with an ad put out by the Baco folks,
which was an explanation of types of
lettuce. Here's a synopsis:
?Iceberg: has a firnrv head which is
the most crunchy on the market;
?Curly endive: (chicory) has curly,
narrow leaves with a bitter taste that

should be incorporated with a dif
ferent lettuce in salads;
?Boston: (butterbead) described as
being as smooth as. er. butter. Be sure
to use a light dressing with this one.
?Romaine: long, coarse leaves with
a pungent taste that is readily iden
tifiable;
?Bibb: has small, delicate leaves,
very expensive at the vegetable
counter. This one should be -served
with the leaves whole.
Now let's go back to some new
entries in the spring catalogues.
?Parsnip ? Jung's "White Sugar"
is reported to be a highly improved
type that is very stocky in shape with
white fine texture, free from
stringiness.
?Onion ? Thompson and Morgan is
advertising a red onion called Carmen
F1 which has red flesh all the way
through instead of white flesh with red
rings.
"Hybrid Spartan Sleeper" from
Jung is just about the best keeper on
the market, storing well for 8 to 10

months ? if you store it right in the
first place, that is.
?Pepper ? Herbst's "Italian
Sweet" is long with thin walls,
growing to 7 inches in length, great for
frying. "Big stuffer" does its job
perfectly.
Agway's "Surefire" surely is, from
its early green period until it develops
into a mature red piece of dynamite.
?Tomato ? Ball's "Champion" is
touted as being a great tomato for the
home garden. It is early, highly
resistant to verticillium, f murium,
tobacco mosaic and nematodes. This
year it will be available only as
started plants.

that "look! promising." I don't know
what that means, though, so we'll go
on to something else.
?Squash ? Goldsmith's "Buc
caneer" is a new zucchini which
grows on open bushes providing easy
harvesting.
Flying in from Hastings comes
"Peter Pan," a green-tinted squash
for home gardens that should be
harvested when fruits are three in
ches or less. Good raw. too. Their
"Pink Banana Jumbo," on the other
hand, is a blooming giant (30 inches
long) which they swear makes
better pie than pumpkin. We'll see.
?Turnip ? Wanna try a mini?
Thompson and Morgan say* to sow its
"Tokyo Cross F1 Hybrid" from
February on and get teeny Usty
turnips in just one month. Tangy. too.
?Radish - "Sparkler White Tip"|
from Hastings never hollows, and we
all know how important that is. Who
wants to stand around stuffing
radishes, just to make them look g$od
on a relish tray?
After all. you can make a bigger
impression with a IS pounder from
Burgess called "Sakurajima", maybe
because it's as big as a Japanese
wrestler. 4
