Gardners Try New Vegetable Varieties Across County
County agent W C Roberts notes gardeners in Mason County planting new varieties. Kennebec potatoes and Ranger beans show good quality. New Hampshire midget watermelon seeds planted May 12 in Morgantown yield six to eight melons per vine by August. Caserta summer squash ripens by July 4 with daily yields possible on fertile soil. Yankee hybrid yellow squash adds variety. Roberts advises limited trial planting next year. Also local visits report Mrs Frank Miller family in Oregon Ridge and Mr Herman Kempton visiting Jacksonville.
