THE GARDEN- 



LEAF CROPS 



There are many plants 

 whose leaves or young shoots 

 are eaten fresh, or cooked and 

 eaten as greens. The garden 

 plants raised in the Philippines 

 for their leaves are mustard, 

 cabbage, and lettuce. All of 

 these are agreeable but not 

 very valuable foods. All have 

 small seed, which should be 

 planted not more than i cm 

 deep, in very fine soil. 



Mustard. Mustard is best planted where the plants 

 are to grow, and not in a seed bed. The rows should be 

 30 cm apart, and the plants 10 or 15 cm apart in each
