Preparation of Soil 



The bed should be dug and thoroughly cultivated to a depth 

 of 12 to 14 inches. Incorporate with the soil rotted leaves or 

 well rotted manure of any kind. Fresh manure should be 

 avoided because it usually holds grub worms. After cultivat- 

 ing, scatter bonemeal at the rate of 100 lbs. to each bed 

 15x50 feet, raking it Avell into the surface. 



In the home garden plants may be set in rows 2 feet apart 

 with the plants 1 foot apart in the row. As the Midsummer sun 

 is very hot, it is well to shade the plants in some manner 

 during the hottest part of the day for the first two or three 

 days after planting. The plants, however, should get a mini- 

 mum of six hours of sunshine each day, and this should be 

 kept in mind when locating the beds. 



Care Required for Best Results 



As all gardeners know, the most important rule for success 

 is to keep out weeds. Go over the bed once a week with a 

 good, sharp hoe which will not only cut out the weeds, but 

 will also loosen the soil, preserve the moisture and stimulate 

 growth. When freezing weather comes on in the Fall, the 

 plants should be mulched with coarse manure. Care should 

 be taken that a light covering only be applied and should 

 never consist of wet or otherwise heavy material.
