SUCCESSION OF VEGETABLES 105 



Another arrangement for succession is that practiced by a 

 vineyardist in the Santa Cruz mountains, who grows vegetables in 

 his vineyard. He plows one furrow in the center, between the vines, 

 manured in the furrow and covered with a furrow plowed each 

 side. The bed thus formed is planted in November with a row 

 thickly sown, of American Wonder Peas, covered with the rake, 

 making a smooth place where, about four inches from the peas, are 

 planted cabbage, Chinese Rose Winter radishes, onions, lettuce and 

 turnip seed, mixed. Other sowings, adding carrots, beans, etc., are 

 made, according to the weather, until May. In February he gathers 

 radishes and lettuce ; in March, peas. He sells or gives away bushels 

 of lettuce and radishes, and has enough to supply a big family from 

 March 1 to July. As late as November he gathers beets, carrots, 

 turnips and string beans. He has the advantage of a larger winter 

 rainfall, and conserves moisture by cultivating between the rows 

 every week in dry weather.
