Each year there is a finer list nf
garden peas from which to st-l ft.
The name "pea" in n contraction of
tho word pium, the botanical term
which is said to hevo been derived
from the ancient Greek city of l'i?a in
Italy, written by the (Jiceka also hv
fion in other words, the vegetable of
Pisa. Pliny, in his natural history,
nays that peas were known 2,000 yeais
before Christ and that the Aryan
whre responsible for their introduc
tion into Europe. Antony and Clej
patru, on the advice of their physician,
atjo peas for medicinal pui puses and
Bq this may be considered the greatest
uiiti(uity in the vegetable garden.

It is valuable for the length of its

Carrots in I he Diet.
The development of vegetable diet
in urban communities have been re
niarkablc Bincc tho close of the war,
its growth dating from the widespread
propaganda and the necessity of rais
ing home food during the stressful
days of the great combat. A numbet
of vegetables, fresh grown, young,
have become articles of every-day con
sumption in the markets of all towns
of 10,000 or more. One of the new
comers is tho young carrot with its
regular, smooth fruits where formerlyi
the biff wrinkled and irregular toma
toes were the vogue. These big fel
lows are still fine for the home can
ner, such types as the ever-faithfu1
Ponderosa.
We owo to South America the gar
den boon of the tomato, probably to
Peru, where it is believed to have been
native originally and where it was
known by the Axtec term of Xilomate
from which tho modem name origin
ated. The English weie introduced to
tho plant in 1501! when it was grown
for ornament under the common
namo of "Love Apple." Italy in th
Scvcnte-enth century, grew it as a
vegetable and from thcie it moved
through Erance to England to th'
table, although it was not generall.'-accoptcdr-

oords sNow that the tomato eanu
back to the Americas in 1781 , but on

was not until a quarter of a century

general use as a vegetable and it

Most gardeners make the mistake of
planting peas too thickly the old
fashioned way- Ail inch apart will
give lu-tier vines with a correspond
ingly heavier yield. The depth to
plant should Be icgU.'.U u by the qual
ity of the soil and tlie tk'.e of the
seed. The lighter th" soil, the deeper
the peas should be planted, while an
inch is the limit in heavy soil. Two u.
three inches ordinal ily is u 'oon r.epih
although in lighter soils some gar
deners plant as deeply as five inches,
believing that the deeper planting,
giving a cooler root, piolongs the sea
son of being.

this is to the great benefit of the na-

I The carrot has become indispens
Inble, both as a fine vegetable itself
anil in its matured form as a flavoring
for soups, stews and kindred dishes.
The carrot in its wild state is a
native of Kurope, Asia and the lit it
ish isles. It was kvclopcd as a vege
table .originally in Holland- When
the Virginia colony was being planted
in the United States the carrot moved
across from Holland to take its place
ih English culinary affairs and Queen
Elizabeth sampled it.
However, the French were the ex
pert gardeners to develop all the fine
varieties of carrots, and theirs remain
the models of the tribe. It is a vege
table to be put in as soon as the
ground can be worke-d, and planterl
at Intervals for a continuous crop of
young carrots. It needs to grow to
perfection, a light, friable soil, but
The tomato is oiie plant that does
not need too rich soil. In fact, many
gardeners are careful to see that it
doesn't get too much fertility in the
belief .that it niakvs a -luxuriant leaf
and vine; -growth at the expense of
fruiting.
Jlany gardeneis who do nut cure to
go to the trouble of staking, prefer the
.dwarf or tree Itype of tonnlto ot
which the Dwarf Stone, Dwarf Cham
pion and Dwaif 'Aristocrat are goo ll.
types. They need little support com-
