2. How many plantings of radishes were made in your 

 garden? Of lettuce? Of peas? Of beans? Of sweet 

 corn? Of greens? 



3. Is your garden manured every year? Is the soil in 

 good condition and free from weeds ? Is rubbish allowed 

 to remain on the garden over winter, thereby making a 

 harbor for insects ?

2. Culture of the Garden Crops 



Most of the vegetables named in the preceding section 

 can be raised without technical training in their cultiva- 

 tion. A few, however, must have special treatment if they 

 are to succeed, and if there is not time to give them this 

 extra attention they would better be left out of the garden 

 plan.
