ARRANGEMENT OF THE PLANTS 31 



and rhubarb plants should be set 2 feet apart in the rows and 

 the rows 3 feet apart. 



Heavy applications of stable manure should be given to 

 the soil every year. 



Fig. 6 illustrates a farm garden 100 by 150 feet. This 

 plan provides for the perennial vegetables and small fruits, 

 in addition to the annual vegetables. This garden requires 

 the use of both the horse and the hand cultivators. The 

 space allottment to the hotbed and the cold frame can be 

 either reduced or extended to suit the needs of the individual. 

 The early potatoes can be followed by endive and turnips 

 and one row of the early sweet corn interplanted with 

 hubbard squash. The short season vegetables can be fol- 

 lowed with appropriate crops. 



Heavy applications of barnyard manure will be found to 

 be of great value and where it is possible fall plowing is 

 advisable.
