PLAN FOR KITCHEN GARDEN 



'£ Rhubarb 



Asparagus 



<n Dwarf Peas 



Dwarf Beans 



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 re- 

 quired in one direction. 



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 prefer- 

 ences 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 de- 

 sired. 



The Asparagus, Horse Radish 

 and Rhubarb should be permanent 

 beds.

 tables that we recommend, are the

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, Petunias, 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 sufficient to insure success under normal conditions, and more 

 detailed suggestions for many sorts will be found in the following pages.
