ARRANGEMENT OF GARDEN 



The question now arises, how to arrange the 

 vegetables in the above list so as to have all or 

 most of them in the garden. It is a consider- 

 able task to plan for so many varieties of veg- 

 etables. However, by the interplanting of 

 crops and by successive cropping — two of the 

 principles followed in intensive methods of 

 vegetable production — ^it is possible to include 

 most of the annuals in a plot twenty-five by 

 thirty-five feet and the perennials and annuals 

 in a plot fifty by sixty feet. In many of the 

 small gardens the hotbed and perennials are 

 omitted, the main object being to produce the 

 maximum amoimt of vegetables in the mini- 

 mum space.
