66 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 
onions, string beans, peas, tomatoes, turnips, cucumbers, etc. 
The accompanying plan is a suggestion for handling a plot 
20 x 30 feet, sufficient to feed an average family of four. 
The varying tastes of individuals may require substitution 
wherever desirable. 
The following table indicates the plants and the amounts 
necessary for the suggested arrangement. Seed should be 
sown thickly in the rows and later thinned to the proper 
distance apart. The time of planting is general, but will 
vary where succession of crops is cae. as it is necessary to 
wait until maturity of the preceding crop before the subse- 
quent one may be put in. No succession should be practised 
in rows 6, 8, and 10, in order to give the celery ample room 
for development. In row 14 radishes may be grown to- 
“ae with parsley, the latter thinned out and grown between 
the radishes. Rows 15-20 may be used for quickly maturing 
_ crops before the late ones are planted.
