1. What will be the requirements of each crop for the family 

 which you will supply ? (This question should be worked out 

 in as much detail as possible.) 



6. . Making garden plans. — We cannot hope to have satis- 

 factory home gardens without making careful plans. The plans 

 should be developed during the winter and then there should be 

 no delay and very few mistakes in starting the real operations the 

 following spring. 



The following fundamentals should have consideration in the 

 development of home garden plans. 



1. The vegetables should be planted in straight rows to facili- 

 tate cultivating with a wheel hoe. 



2. Perennial crops like rhubarb, asparagus, and horse radish 

 should be planted along one side of the garden, so that they will 

 not interfere with the planting of the annual crops. 



3. The early, quickly maturing crops, as radishes, lettuce, 

 bunch onions, etc., should be planted in a strip at one side of the 

 garden, perhaps next to the perennial vegetables, where they can 

 be followed by later crops, and the remainder of the garden pre- 

 pared and planted at the proper time.
