Fill Your Salad Bowl from the Home Qarden 



The recent popularity of the Salad Bowl is not entirely due to the-fact that its vitamin- 

 laden, blood purifying ingredients make it one of the most healthful of all foods, but also 

 because it possesses a piquancy, a zest giving, teasing, tantalizing, appetite provoking 

 stimulus, that merits for it a place of honor at every meal. 



Besides the popular items contained in the Spring and All Season Salad Bowl Collec- 

 tions listed on the back cover, there is a wide and varied range of salad plants, all of 

 which are easily grown in the garden where they occupy a minimum amount of space. 

 The following list is far from complete, but it contains the principal ones for cultivation 

 in the home garden.

A Suggested Plan That Will Keep the Qarden Busy Producing 

 Delicious Vegetables from Early Summer to Late Fall 



The "Garden Plan" suggested below, for a garden about 60 x 100 feet or larger, has been arranged with a view to keep every foot of ground 

 busy and productive spring, summer and autumn, thereby doubling the usual output and extending the fresh vegetable season to maximum 

 limits. The following features may be noted: suitable succession crops to follow first crops in the same row; leaf or above ground crops to suc- 

 ceed root or below ground crops and vice versa; "brassicas" (Cabbage and Turnip families) not on the same ground in succession; "legumes" 

 (Peas and Beans) (nitrogen gatherers) interspersed throughout the garden to benefit the soil; tall growing crops on north or west side of garden 

 so as not to shade dwarfer growing vegetables; winter roots remaining in ground are in outside row; rows running lengthwise of the garden for 

 ease and rapidity of cultivation with a wheel hoe, described on page 126. 



West side of garden preferably — north if necessary — 100 feet or more in length.
