JUNE — SUCCESSION AND COMPANION 

 CROPPING 



Growing one crop of vegetables after another crop, on the 

 same ground and in the same season, is called succession 

 cropping. In this list the first crop may be followed by 

 the second : 



Spinach by beans Peas by kohl-rabi 



Radishes by lettuce Lettuce by beans 



Beans by spinach Radishes by corn 



Beets by turnips Onions by carrots 



Companion cropping is raising two vegetables on the soil 

 at the same time. Corn and pumpkins or corn and squash 

 will grow together all summer ; but the usual method of com- 

 panion cropping is with a long-season and a short-season crop 

 (page 9) . Onions and radishes may be grown with winter 

 cabbage; beets, kohl-rabi, and lettuce with tomatoes. 



Plant succession crops in June. Fight weeds and insect 

 pests.
