WHAT TO DO MONTH BY MONTH 



Sow a crop of dwarf early peas between the 

 rows of late turnips. Follow early lettuce, 

 radish, peas and beets with late celery. At 

 a space of every eighteen inches remove a 

 plant of early wax beans and place a late cab- 

 bage plant. After the beans are past bearing 

 remove the plants and give special attention 

 to the late cabbage. Between the hills of 

 sweet corn plant Hubbard squash (winter). 

 After harvesting the corn, cut off the stalks 

 close to the surface of the ground and spread 

 out the squash vines. Give the rows a vigor- 

 ous cultivation in order to loosen the soil and 

 kill all weeds before spreading the vines. 

 After digging the early potatoes, work into 

 the soil a free application of bone dust, and 

 plant late celery, cabbage or Brussels sprouts. 

 After trimming the tomato plants by remov- 

 ing part of the leaves and all side growths, 

 plant late cabbage or lettuce between each 

 pair of stakes. Add a little well decayed 

 manure, bone meal or sheep manure to each 

 hole. Work the fertilizer into the soil before
