VEGETABLES that are common and easily grown 

 can furnish a good share of the vitamins and miner- 

 als that all of us need every day. Those who wish 

 to grow a small vegetable garden are more likely to 

 succeed if they confine their efforts to a few crops, such 

 as those mentioned in the following pages. 



This publication gives general information for the 

 inexperienced gardener on what to grow, how to prepare 

 and fertilize the soil, how and when to plant, how to care 

 for the plants, and how to utilize the crop. For more 

 detailed directions consult your State agricultural 

 college, county agent, vocational agricultural teachers, 

 or local experienced gardeners. 



Unusual demands are being made on domestic 

 supplies of vegetable seeds. Do not waste them.
