FERRY'S SEEDS 



PLAN FOR HOME GARDEN 



WHERE SPACE IS LIMITED 



For the convenience of those who have 

 only a limited space at their command, the 

 accompanying plan is suggested as an aid in 

 laying out a small kitchen garden. 



Where the rows are made the distances 

 apart indicated on this diagram, thirty-five 

 feet are required as one dimension. 



If the rows are to run east and west it is 

 desirable to have the corn at the north end, 

 otherwise the rows north of it would be shaded 

 too much. 



The rows may be as long as space permits 

 or individual preferences may dictate, and 

 where space is less limited more rows of 

 favorite sorts may be added or pro\asion made 

 for other vegetables and flowers as desired. 



The Asparagus, Horse Radish and Rhubarb 

 should be permanent beds. 



Among the varieties of vegetables we 

 recommend, listed somewhat in order of 

 planting, are the f ollowng :

Even a small yard should have its flowers. Plant some sweet 

 peas or nasturtiums either dwarf or trailing. Our mixtures of 

 Asters, Pansies, Petunias, Phlox Drummondi, Poppies, Morn- 

 ing Glories, Marigolds, Verbenas, . or Zinnias are all easily 

 grown. A few plantings of flowers, well growoi, will amply repay 

 j^ou in pleasure. 



Each packet of seed gives cultural directions which are 

 adequate to insure success under normal conditions. More 

 detailed suggestions for many kinds wall be found in the follow- 

 ing pages.
