Plant corn after early lettuce and radishes are 

 gathered, and more lettuce when beans are 

 picked; then cabbage, cauliflower or spinach 

 where the early corn grew, so that the small 

 patch may earn your living and pay big divi- 

 dends. Early potatoes and early cauliflower are 

 followed by celery and Brussels sprouts. 



Onion seeds are sown between early planted 

 onion sets. Then cauliflower is planted. Later 

 we may put a few cucumber seeds between the 

 cauliflower. The onion sets mature first and are 

 gathered, then the cauliflower in time to permit 

 free growth to the cucumbers. Between the 

 seeds and onions we may plant radishes, lettuce, 

 peppergrass or spinach, which will mature before 

 their shade could hurt the seedling onions. Later, 

 turnips may be sown between the onion rows. 



This gives two crops of onions as well as cauli- 

 flower, cucumbers, radishes, and turnips from 

 the same plot, and it leaves no chance at all for 

 weeds. 



One can live while waiting for the crops to 

 come up, for many crops mature rapidly. The
