Improved forms are selections from named varieties showing greater stamina, or tolerance to a wider range of soils or weather conditions. Improvements usually mean stronger growth than Ihe original, more prolific production of the edible parts hut still maintaining the original flavor or quality. Hybrid is a comparatively new term in the vegetable garden.

This involves the deliberate crossing of two or more plants to produce wauled characteristics. The first generation of plants from a given cross are called Kl hybrids. Every plant from this cross is essenlialiy Ihe same, and more seed can only be produced by performing Ihe same cross. When Kl hybrids are grown In the home garden the plants are "open pollinated" either with their own pollen or with compatible pollen from some other plant within the same family. The resulting seeds become second generation F2 hybrids, because they were not formed from the original cross, and therefore the seed will not give plains similar lo those of Kl seed.

In other words, it is useless to save seed of a Fl hybrid, whether flower or vegetable, unless you are interested in experimenting. From hundreds of seedlings you may, with extreme luck, find something belter than has already been produced. Going hack to seed packets, the pictures on Ihe front and the printing on the hack. Beside me on the desk are three packets of carrot seed put out by Ihe same seed firm. The pictures on Ihe front are fairly representative of the different types, one short and stubby, one medium length and broad, the other long and slender.

The short one is for greenhouse and coldframe early sowings, the medium for early outdoor sowing, the long one is a maincrop to mature in early fall. This kind of information must be learned from the company's seed catalog which carries full descriptions and instructions. On the back of these packages the sowing instructions are idenlical: "Carrot; thrives in good loamy soil. Sow when ground can be cultivated and every two weeks. Thin as growth and variety indicates." When and how to sow we have to determine for ourselves by experiment.

This we do by sowing small quantities of several varieties, strains, or selections, keeping adequate records of sowing dales, weather conditions and soil conditions, and finally the exleoi us the crop, its flavor and cooking qualities. Some will he failures because we have chosen a few unsuitable kinds, not because of faulty seed. It is so easy to blame the seed instead of ourselves. One thing lo remember is that most vegetable seeds (exceeding onions and parsnips! have a viability period of three to eight years. There is no need to sow all the seeds in the packet at the one time, nor to sow them as thick as grass when they have to be thinned to three, six, or eight, inches apart to allow the crop to develop.

WORK FOR WEEK IF 1 1 -1 11 I. I 1 anil Record Gallery I Look for the Big Sign! OTTAWA (CP) Lucrative general cargo seems to be drifting away from tiie St. Lawrence seaway. As the shipping artery to the Great Lakes prepares for another season, the pattern is clear that movement of bulk commodities such as wheat and iron ore continue to go up but more profitable general cargo tonnage steadily declines. New lashions in cargo handling, specifically the trend lo container packaging of general cargo, are the cause.

The long-awaited report on the seaway, submitted recently to Transport Minister Janiiesim by D. W. Carr and Associates, put it bluntly: "By late 1970, there were indications that a significant pait of the general cargo moving on the seaway (particularly iron and steel) might le lost to the new container services." The seaway's main competition for general cargo comes from huge container vessels that transfer shipments from overseas to unit trains at Atlantic ports. NAKKOUS ADVANTAGE This has "drastically narrowed and perhaps eliminated the original cost advantage of inland waterways," said R. Ft.

Cope, vice-president of the Canadian transport commission, in a recent speech. The Carr report says the seaway faces a stark future, increasingly dependent "low-valued hulk movements" which are handled mainly by Canadian and U.S. carriers not too concerned about the general cargo decline. The outlook of ocean-going vessels seems grim, says John Aspin of the Shipping federation of Canada. "Personally, I don't think there will be any 'sallies' on the seaway in three years' time." There were 358 fewer transits by ocean vessels in the seaway last year tharrin 19t9.

The totals for 1969 were below the average for the last five years. But transits by inland vessels increased by 18.5 tier cent in 1970, reflecting the increasing amounts of hulk traffic. Alil.U FAI LS The amount of general cargo carried on Ihe Muni real-Lake Ontario section of the seaway has fallen from eight million Ions in 19li8 to 6.S million in 1970. Cargo tonnage through the Welland Canal has declined from seven million in 968 to 5.8 million in 1970. When the seaway was opened ill 1959.

tiiere were confident forecasts that, general cargo would have a significant slice of traffic. Last year only 12 per cent of the traffic was general cargo. George Sainsbury, director of economics and research for Ihe St. Lawrence Seaway Authority, says the U.S. has always seen Ihe seaway in terms of potential general cargo traffic and Canada has seen it as a way of transporting grain and iron ore bulk commodities.

But only about 50 per cent of the general cargo in the seaway can be containerized, largely because of the seaway depth. Inland vessels built for the seaway have draughts of about 26 leet while large ocean vessels with a maximum draught of about 38 feet must use the system only partly filled.

This can he disastrous. As an example, there are early, nudseason, and main i rop peas. Should the latter iwo be sown in cold, wet. soil they will rot before germinating, while the early lype in a dry soil will also give poor germination. In cahhage we have spring cabbage, the seed of which is sown in August; summer cabbage, sown in spring; fall and winter cabbage sown in late spring.

These Iwo examples clearly show that the gardener is wise not to depend solely on the picture. Since Ihe hybridizers and plant breeders have worked on vegetables we find varieties, strains, selections, and what are termed "improved" bums. Each term is significant. Varieties are the result of breeding. A variety that does veil in one garden may be a disappointment in the garden next door.

Strain is something akin to blood-line in animals. Certain desirable iuahties in the original variety are maintained even though Ihe present plants are not true to the original type. Selections are a plants that appear from time to time exhibiting characteristics different in some way to the rest. II may be increased resistance to drought or disease, heller quality of leaf, root, or seed, according to Ihe part used as lood. Observant gardeners often spol such plants in the home garden and use them to produce seed, then select again from Ihe seedlings and linally have a "selection" that is all Iheir own and does STAMP NEWS Refugee By ROHKKT 0.
