Success with Vegetables Planted 

 Outdoors in Late Fall 



Photographs by the author and from Vermont 



Experiment Station 



IN October, 1904, we made our first experi- 

 ment with fall planting on a very small 

 scale, only a few feet of row for each vege- 

 table. The results were sufficiently satisfac- 

 tory to inspire the vow that 1905 should see 

 a larger fall-planted garden. 



Our best crop was lettuce. We picked 

 plants just beginning to head the third week 

 in May, and they were tender and good. 

 About two dozen full-sized heads of the finest 

 quality were picked between June 14th and 

 June 21st. After that they shot up to seed. 

 Heads from this spring's planting were not 

 ready until two days later than those from 

 fall-sown seed. There were five varieties, but 



Parsnips and celery sown in October got an 

 early start in the spring, and by the end of May 

 (when photographed) were respectable-sized plants 



only two made any showing — Grand Rapids 

 and Half Century. 



Chard also gave good results; large leaves 

 with brittle stalks a half inch wide were 

 picked before the April 1st planting pro- 

 duced anything but greens. 



American cress came up thickly and flour- 

 ished. On June 17th they were bushy plants 

 six inches high. 



Hollow Crown parsnips were very satisfac- 

 tory, so far as looks go. Their edible quali- 



Lettuce sown on October 28th ; started to grow 

 March 31st: grew rap. '.y into large, tender heads. 

 Photographed last weeK in May. The small plant

ties were not tested at this writing; they are 

 kept for use quite late in the season. On 

 June 17th the tops measured twenty inches 

 and the roots eleven inches, being very 

 straight and even, tapering from a little over 

 a half inch thick at the top. 



Danvers carrots planted in the fall were the 

 same size as the April 1st planting, and were 

 gathered for cooking on June 23d. On the 

 same date celery plants were transplanted,, 

 both roots and leaves being about six inches 

 in length.
