LESSON I 



Plant one row of potatoes five feet from 

 the west end. Dig a furrow three inches 

 deep and plant the pieces* about one 

 foot apart, beginning at the line. Cover 

 at least two inches with mellow soil and 

 pat down with the back of hoe. 



Plant, two feet east of potatoes, one 

 row of cabbage seed in hills two feet apart. 

 Sow five or six seeds in each hill. Make 

 the hill by loosening the soil with the hoe 

 and removing about one inch of soil. 

 Cover the seed one-half inch with fine 

 soil and make it firm over the seed. 



Plant, five feet from east end, one row 

 of lettuce. Mark out the row about one- 

 half inch deep and sow the seed one to two 

 inches apart. Cover with fine soil one- 

 fourth inch and press it down. 



Plant, one foot east of lettuce, one row 

 of radishes. Mark out the same as for 



* The potato tubers are cut into pieces of one or 

 two eyes each.
