Excerpt
THE GROWING of small fruits and permanent vegetables in home gardens provides a greater variety of food. About 90 out of every 100 farms in the United States have upon them some form of a home garden or source of supply of fresh vegetables. Many of these gardens include, in addition to the annual vegetables, small fruits and certain of the perennial or more or less permanent vegetables.
Thousands of city, town, and village gardens also include small fruits, asparagus, rhubarb, and other permanent crops.
This bulletin gives brief instructions for the planting and care of the more important small fruits and perennial vegetables. More complete information may be found in the special bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture and of the State agricultural colleges and experiment stations.
