MAKE YOUR GARDEN WORK FULL TIME 



The coming of peace has not brought plenty. Prices of vegetable foods 

 are still high and THERE IS GREAT NEED FOR INCREASED HOME 

 PRODUCTION 4 OF FOOD IN THE GARDEN DURING 1921. 



We therefore wish to impress upon our friends the importance of second 

 and even third plantings of vegetable seeds during the months of June, July 

 and August, which is not as generally practiced among home gardeners as it 

 should be. In the list printed below we give the latest dates up to which seed 

 may be sown in the latitude of New York. 



YOU CAN DOUBLE THE OUTPUT OF YOUR GARDEN AND RAISE 

 A HOST OF GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE FROM NOW ONWARDS 

 UNTIL FROST ENDS GARDEN OPERATIONS. 



The possibilities of your garden have by no means been exhausted when 

 you have raised one crop of vegetables, and many of the thriftiest gardens 

 are planted after June 1st. Many varieties of vegetables yield larger crops 

 from summer sown seed, then from spring sown seed, because the weather 



prevailing at the time the young plants attain any size is exactly suited to 

 their requirements, and they are able to grow and complete their develop- 

 ment without check. 



Summer is the best time in all the year to sow seeds of root crops, such as 

 Carrot, Beet, Turnip and Ruta Baga. The young plants attain their true 

 leaves when the weather is favorable to them, and grow right on without a 

 check, consequently they are tender and palatable. 



For your health's sake, do not omit to put in more rows of SPINACH, 

 indispensable and necessary on every table. Sow up to September 15th. 

 Victoria, Thick-Leaved and Long Standing are good varieties to plant as 

 they are great heat resisters. Don't waste any ground, but in odd corners 

 sow radishes. Red Forcing Radish and Early White Tipped Scarlet Turnip 

 Radish succeed well at this time. Put in more sowings of Lettuce up to 

 Aug. 15th. Besides the kinds specially mentioned there are many other 

 seeds which may be sown during the summer with every assurance of reaping 

 bountiful crops. The varieties marked "early" should be chosen for late 

 plantings, because they mature more quickly than the varieties called "late."
