 cabbage. 



2. Another successful plan that has been 

 carried out is the following: remove multiplier 

 onions, planted the previous spring, by May 

 1. Transplant lettuce which should mature 

 by July 10. Follow the lettuce by celery. 

 Before planting the lettuce apply decayed 

 horse manure to the soil. 



3. Early peas may be sown in March ; they 

 mature in June, and may be followed by late 

 potatoes.
