TEXT 1 LETTUCE (HORTALIZA DE HOJA COMESTIBLE: apio, perejil, acelga, espinaca, repollo,)
It can be grown in any garden. It is a cool-weather crop, and it is sensitive to heat as any vegetable. In the South, lettuce
culture is restricted to late Fall, Winter and Spring. In colder parts of the South lettuce may not live in Winter. In the
North, lettuce culture is partially limited to Spring and Autumn. In some locations, such as areas of high altitude, lettuce
grows in summer. Planting on a wrong season is responsible for most of the failures with this crop. Any rich soil is
adapted to lettuce. The plant is sensitive to acid soil, a commercial fertilizer with heavy proportions of phosphorous is
recommended. Lettuce should be transplanted to the garden when the plants have four or five leaves. Lettuce is not
usually harmed by a temperature as low as 28°F and allow about 6 weeks for growing the plant. For the Fall crop, the
seeds may be sown directly in the row. For tractor cultivation, set lettuce plants 12 or 15 inches apart in rows 30 to 36
inches. For hand cultivation about 14 to 16 inches apart. There are many varieties of lettuce, all of which grow well in
the garden when the conditions are right.

TEXT 2 Produccion de hortalizas CARROTS (nabos,rabanos).
They are usually grown in the Fall, Winter and Spring in the South providing an almost continuous supply. In the North
carrots can be grown and used through the Summer and the surplus stored for Winter. Carrots will grow on almost any
type of soil as long as it is moist, fertile, loose and free from clods and stones but sandy loams and peats are best. Use
commercial fertilizer. Because of their hardiness, carrots may be seeded as early in the Spring as the ground can be
worked. Succession plantings at intervals of 3 weeks will insure a continuous supply of tender carrots. Cover carrot seed
about ½ inch on most soils; less usually about ¼ inch on heavy soils. With care in seeding little thinning is necessary,
carrots can stand some crowding especially on loose soils. However, they should be no thicker than 10 to 15 plants per
foot of row. Carrots should be stored before hard frosts occur, as the roots may be injured by cold. TEXT 2) CARROTS

TEXT 3) (Horse) radish=rabano picante(zanahoria,nabos,rabanos)
It is adapted to the north-temperate regions of the United States, but not to the South, except possibly in the high
altitudes. Any good soil, the lightest sands and heaviest clays, will grow horseradish, but it grows best on a deep, rich,
moist loam that is well supplied with organic matter. Avoid shallow soil; it produces rough, prongy roots. Mix organic
matter with the soil a few months before the plants or cuttings are set. Some fertilizer may be used at the time of
planting and more during the subsequent seasons. A top dressing of organic matter each spring is advisable.
Horseradish is propagated either by crowns or by root cuttings. In propagating by crowns a portion of an old plant
consisting of a piece of root and crown buds is merely lifted and planted in a new place. Root cuttings are pieces of older
roots 6 to 8 inches long and of the thickness of a lead pencil. They may be saved when preparing the larger roots for
grating, or they may be purchased from seedsmen. A trench 4or 5 inches deep is opened with a hoe and the root
cuttings are placed at an angle with their tops near the surface of the ground. Plants from these cuttings usually make
good roots the first year. As a rule, the plants in the home garden are allowed to grow from year to year, and portions of
the roots are removed as needed. Pieces of roots and crowns remaining in the soil are usually sufficient to reestablish
the plants. There is very little choice in the matter of varieties of horseradish. Be sure, however, to obtain good healthy
planting stock of a strain that is giving good results in the area where it is being grown. TEXT 3 HORSERADISH. Solve

TEXT 4 TOMATOES hortaliza de fruto comestible (pepino,zapallo,haba,berenjena) Answer
Tomatoes grow under a wide variety of conditions and require only a relatively small space for a large production. Of
tropical American origin, the tomato does not thrive in very cool weather. It grows in Winter in home gardens in the
extreme South. It is suited to Spring, Summer and Autumn. In the more northern areas, the growing season is likely to
be too short for heavy yields. Tomatoes are sensitive to cold. Never plant them until danger of frost is past. By using
plant protectors during cool periods the home gardener can set tomatoe plants somewhat earlier than it would be
possible.
TOMATOES for diabetes
The tomato is the fruit of the plant Lycopersicon esculentum. It can also be classified as a berry as it is formed from a
single ovary. There are thousands of different kinds of tomatoes which vary in shape, size and color. From the small
cherry tomatoes to the pear-shaped Italian ones, all of these versatile fruits have been used in different cuisines
throughout the world. The tomato can be used for diabetes treatment. Eating foods with high levels of antioxidants may
help reduce the risk of complications associated with adult diabetes. Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin E
and beta carotene, all conventional antioxidants. They also contain high levels of phytonutrients like flavones and
carotene, like lycopene and lutein. These antioxidants protect the body by reducing lipid peroxidation. This is a process
of oxygen damage too fast in the bloodstream or in cell membranes. Antioxidants also protect the body by increasing
enzyme function. Studies involving tomatoe have shown that its antioxidant properties offer protection to the kidneys
and bloodstream, two areas that are frequently affected by diabetes. Tomatoes contain many ingredients which help
support the body´s cardiovascular system. There are two main lines of research that link tomatoes to a healthy heart.
The first involves antioxidant support while the second line of research involves fat regulation in the blood.

TEXT 5) CELERY
It grows in home gardens in most parts of the country at some time during the year. It is a cool-weather crop. It is
adapted to winter culture in the South. In the South and in the North it may be grown either as an early Spring or as a
late fall crop. Farther north in certain favoured locations it can be grown throughout the summer.
A rich, moist but well-drained, deeply prepared, mellow soil is essential for celery. Soil varying from sand to clay loam
and to peat may be used as long as these requirements are met. Organic matter and commercial fertilizer are necessary
for a good fertile ground. We use 5 pounds (=0,454kg)of a high grade fertilizer mixed with the soil for a 100 foot row of
celery. It is important to prepare the celery row a week or two before we set the plants. The common mistake is to allow
the plants to grow enough. About 10 weeks are needed to grow good celery. Celery seeds are small and germinates
slowly.

TEXT 6) HOGS
Hog, mammalian tamed of the family of the suidaes, that is bred in almost the whole world as source of food. The hogs
belong to the order of the artiodactyls (with even number of fingers). They belong also to the suborder of animals with
44 teeth, including two canines of great size in each mandible that grow upwards and towards being in form of canine
teeth. They are often named filthy or dirty.
Characteristics: the domestic hog adult has a heavy and rounded body comparatively long and flexible snout, short with
hoofs (four fingers)and a short tail. The skin, thick but sensitive, is covered in part of rough horsehairs and exhibits a
wide colored variety and drawings. As all suidaes are quick and intelligent animals. Magnificently adapted for the
production of meat, as long as they grow they ripen with rapidity, have a period of short gestation, of a few 114 days
and can have very numerous broods. They are omnivorous and eat a great variety of foods, perhaps one of the reasons
they conducted to their domestication. As source of food they convert the cereals as the corn and the leguminous as the
soya into naked cereals. Besides the meat, the leather is made good use of to make clothes for unskilled bullfighters,
footwear and gloves and the horsehairs to make brushes. It is also a primary source of eatable fat, although at present,
we prefer the cracks that produce lean meat. Moreover, they provide raw material of quality for the manufacture of
the ham. Spain has several denominations for hams among them are Guijuelo, ham of Teruel, of Huelva and others. The
different types of hogs reflect the main use for the one which have been conceived. Today exists 90 grateful cracks. The
occidental countries exploit 8 big cracks. The Berkshire (black with white points) and the Yorkshire (also called big steel
blade)had their origin in England. The Chester white, the duroc (red), the Hampshire (black with a white belt), the
Poland China (black with white points) and the Spotted (black with white point) had their origin in USA. The Landrace, a
big hog, long and white, comes from Denmark. The main cracks also differ in their rhythm of growth, the number of pigs
for brood and the size.
