486 VEGETABLE GARDENING 



Do not plant bush beans closer than I foot from the 

 muskmelons. Two hills of pole beans may be substi- 

 tuted for the muskmelons. Bush beans may be planted 

 two weeks earlier than melons. 



29. CORN AND BEANS. A New Jersey grower plants 

 two or three beans with each grain of corn. The beans 

 are marketed first and the yield of corn is apparently not 

 affected. 







30. PEACHES AND TOMATOES. Tomatoes are grown 

 extensively in the young peach orchards on the eastern 

 shore of Maryland. 



31. APPLES, PEAS AND TOMATOES. A New Jersey 

 grower plants early peas in his young apple orchards. 

 The peas are followed by tomatoes, and crimson clover 

 is sown at the last cultivation of the tomatoes. 



32. CABBAGE AND TOMATOES.

Midsummer varieties of cabbage, planted early; late 

 tomatoes, planted in June or earlier if climate requires 

 earlier planting. 



33. FRUIT TREES AND PEAS AND BEANS. An excellent 

 combination for young orchards is to plant peas early 

 in the spring and follow with bush beans. The beans 

 should be sold in the pod or allowed to ripen for dry 

 shell beans.
