It is a June cattus and is therefore still in bloom with at least 125 flowers which are red and have white stream- Binder Used For 4 Decades rd this office an ear of Golden Ilaniant corn on which there was z,r,rowe't different from anything we have ever seen.

VEGETABLES Harvest season brings a rich profus- ion of vegetables, but whatever the season, Canadian markets are filled with an excellent variety of vegetables. Eat them every day, cooked and raw, two or more kinds daily, Learn to eat new kinds, cooked in new ways.. Why Different Kinds First on the list-dark green leaves, as kale, chard, spinach, beet and tur- nip tops, dandelion and mustard greens- -rich in iron and vitamins. Lighter green leaves- -as lettuce and cabbage eaten raw- - crisp and fresh- good for vitamin C. Yellow vegetables- -as squash, sweet potatoes, yarns, carrots and pumpkin- -fine for vitamin A.

Other vegetables- -as ,gr n beans, green peas, lima beans, onions and celery -give you less minerals and vitamins hut are good for you and are a change, How To Buy Vegetables Buy vegetables in Cason- -they are cheaper and fresher. Choose bright, firm, well formed vegetables. Buy beets with fresh green tops thus having two' vegetables for the price of one. Buy by the pound rather than by the bunch, as carroots and broccoli; it is less expensive. Vegetables with little waste, as string beans and spinach, are cheaper than green peas or lima beans even thought they may cost a few cents more a pound, How To cook Them Wasp thoroughly, particularly lea fy varieties:, but do not soak hi water eer this ronoviee some of the 'vitamin an d mineral content. cook in the smallest possible amount of boiling salted water, Leafy vegetables 'usually have enough water clinging to them from the washing; for others about one-half inch i n t h e bottom of the kettle is enough. Vegetables are better undercooked than overcooked. Most piiople over- cook, When you get used to ender, coolterl ones you'll prefer them, Whenever possible, cook vegetables in their skins; skin protects the 'min- eral and vitamins. :Never add soda to vegetables; it destroys vitamins. Save the water in which vegetables are coo k e d a s an appetizer mixed with tomato juice, in soups or gravies, It contains much of the vegetable's min- eral and vitamins, particularly the B family and C.
