Sow early beets in May with rows as straight as possi- 

 ble. Cultivate with a horse. At the proper time, re-

 alternate rows to set late cabbage plants. Any small 

 early maturing crop may be substituted for beets.

Seed of all these crops is sown early. After the rad- 

 ishes are sold, use horse cultivator. Care is required in 

 cutting lettuce to avoid injury to parsnip. 



ii. RADISH AND CARROT. A Wisconsin grower sows 

 early radish and carrot seed together in the same row. 

 The radishes are removed before there is much injury 

 to the carrot plants. Radish seed may also be used in 

 the same way with salsify and parsnips.
