High grade vegetable seeds urged for better crops
University of Maine agriculture instructor M F F. Babb urges gardeners to select high grade seed strains bred from pure stocks. He notes better vegetables come from pedigreed, true to type varieties, with higher yields and quality, though at higher cost. He cites Calmest, Hariana, and Barling tomato strains and Penn State Hariana as examples of improved performance.
