1903 - Two Crops Per Year

The following short story was printed in the Anthony Republican, Nov. 13, 1903. It tells of G. Jennings garden in the Spring of 1903 and in the fall of the same year.

It seems for two weeks he had fresh, crisp lettuce, radishes and string beans. Mr. Jennings also had a fine crop of tomatoes, and had gathered a bushel or more of green tomatoes which he sorted, wrapped the sound ones in paper and put in the cellar in a well ventilated place. He said, "They would ripen slowly for the next two or three weeks. They would not only ripen but color well." The paper stated, "It was a notion worth a dollar to any man who loves tomatoes and mourns the loss of a big lot of green ones when the frost comes."
