82 CHILDREN'S GARDENS 



Corn Early Cory 60 to 80 days 



Golden Bantam 70 to 90 days 



Kohl-rabi White Vienna 50 to 65 days 



If these are planted by the middle of May, near 

 New York City, they can be all harvested by the end 

 of July and include a second planting of radishes. 



If the garden work stops during the school vaca- 

 tion (July and August) have the children plant as 

 soon as the ground is dry enough (April ist to loth). 

 Use radish, beets, carrots, onions, lettuce and kohl- 

 rabi, of the varieties named. These can all be har- 

 vested by June 3Oth, and the plots spaded and left in 

 order for the vacation. For a School Garden south 

 of New York during the fall term kohl-rabi, radish, 

 lettuce and turnips can be planted the first week in 

 September. For time of planting add or subtract one 

 day for each ten miles north or south of New York 

 City. 



It is always well each season to plant small sam- 

 ples of other standard varieties in observation plots. 

 In this way you will soon become familiar with those 

 which give the best results in your locality.
