SCHOOL AND HOME GARDENS 



PLANTING PLANS 



The following planting plans may be used either for 

 the school garden or for any home garden. The garden 

 may be made of any length desired, and the width may 

 be increased by combining two or more plots, or the di- 

 mensions indicated may be used. The plots are drawn 

 on a scale of four by eleven feet. 



PLAN I 



Use some variety of leaf lettuce. The turnips may remain in the ground 

 until after tomatoes, or some other succession crop, are planted. The toma- 

 toes should be planted in the middle of the plot after the radishes and the 

 spinach have been removed 



PLAN II 



Plant a succession crop when the radishes are taken out. Any of the medium 

 early or late crops may be planted. This plan indicates how crops that 

 require the same attention and that have similar habits of growth may be 

 planted in the same row. The rows containing carrots and beets may be 

 marked by sowing with them a few radish seeds
