PLAN FOR KITCHEN GARDEN 



WHERE SPACE IS UMITED 



^ Asparagus 



^ Onions 



For the convenience of those who 

 have only a limited space at their com- 

 mand, the accompanying plan is sug- 

 gested as an aid in laying out a small 

 kitchen garden. 



Where the rows are made the dis- 

 tances apart indicated on this diagram, 

 thirty-five feet are required in one di- 

 rection. 



If the rows are to run east and west 

 it is desirable to have the corn at the 

 north end, otherwise the corn is likely 

 to shade too much the rows near it on 

 the north side. 



The rows may be as long as space 

 permits or individual preferences may 

 call for, and where space is less limited, 

 more rows of favorite sorts may be 

 added or provision made for other vege- 

 tables or flowers that may be desired. 



The Asparagus, Horse Radish and 

 Rhubarb should be permanent beds. 



Among the varieties of vegetables 

 that we recommend, mentioned some- 

 what in order of planting, are the fol- 

 lowing: 



Tomato, Early — Avon Early, 

 Chalk's Early Jewel and Early Detroit.

 Wakefield and Copenhagen Market.

 gal.

The above sorts do best when started 

 indoors and transplanted. Others men- 

 tioned below may be sown outdoors.

Even a small yard should have its flowers. Plant 

 a few Sweet Peas or some Nasturtiums, either Dwarf 

 or Trailing. Our mixtures of Asters, Pansies, Pe- 

 tunias, Phlox Drummondi, Poppies, Morning Glories, 

 Marigolds, Verbenas and Zinnias, all are easily 

 grown. A few packets of flowers well grown will 

 give an abundant harvest of pleasure. 



Each packet of seed gives cultural directions suf- 

 ficient to insure success under normal conditions, and 

 more detailed suggestions for many sorts will be 

 found in the following pages. 



Buy Ferry's seeds of your local dealer.
