384 VEGETABLE FORCING 
small tomato plants might be greatly injured by setting» 
in beds of large lettuce, while large ones would be 
damaged only slightly. 
Ideas and planting distances for greenhouse companion 
cropping are so variable that it is impossible to present 
definite plans which are standard in the culture of crops 
under glass. It is hoped, however, that the following 
will be suggestive to those who are interested in this 
subject: 
1. Cauliflower (C), Lettuce (L).

Large, vigorous plants of cauliflower and lettuce set 
at the same time. The lettuce should be harvested in 
about five weeks. 
2. Same as No. 1, except rows of radishes are planted 
between the solid rows of lettuce and the rows of lettuce 
and cauliflower. Eleven or 12-inch spaces instead of 10 
inches are desirable.

Cauliflower plants 20 by 24 inches apart. Radish rows 
4 inches apart. Less space may be allowed for cauli- 
flower if desired. Radish seed sown in drills at the time 
the cauliflower is planted. The radish seed is sometimes 
sown broadcast instead of in drills.
