Vegetables

Louisiana is peculiarly favored in respect to the variety of Vegetables that can be grown on her soil. Almost all the sturdier varieties of Vegetables and all the more delicate and recherche are grown here in abundance. The soil is so rich and fruitful that it has been said that if you simply scatter the seed over the ground, without any effort at cultivation, it would follow. Our climate also admits of two seasons of planting so that we have both an early spring and autumn crop; the one extends far into the summer and verging upon the autumn, and the other till late in the winter and verging upon the early spring. Consequently, Vegetables are always to be found in abundance in our markets.
