PLANNING THE HOME GARDEN 



in aiding germination, rapid growth and the 

 maturity of the plant. 



Rows running north and south get the sun 

 on the east side of the plant in the morning and 

 on the west side in the afternoon. But as a 

 matter of fact, practical gardeners are not so 

 particular how the rows run on level ground 

 so long as the sun is not shut off from the 

 plants by tall objects such as a well, trees, or 

 shrubs. 



The following list of vegetables and the 

 names of satisfactory varieties may be of aid in 

 making your selection of seeds from the cat- 

 alogues. Other varieties may be just as satis- 

 factory and each gardener is advised to work 

 out for himself those varieties best suited to 

 his soil, climatic conditions, and individual 

 taste.
