VEGETABLE GARDENING 
A very early variety of radish should be used so the 
roots will mature before it is time to plant early celery.

A Wisconsin florist uses this unique plan. White 
Portugal onion seed is sown early to produce bunching 
onions. When there is no further danger of frost, asters 
are set 2 feet apart on the side of alternate rows. The 
onions are sold before there is any injury to the asters. 
15. Onions and Cucurbits. Onions may be planted 
in rows a foot apart. At the proper time, plant musk- 
melons in every sixth row, or watermelons in every 
ninth row, or squashes every tenth or twelfth row, and 
space in the row as may be desired.

Lettuce and celery 
Soil should be very rich. Strong plants of lettuce are 
planted as soon as possible. Every fifth row is removed 
for early celery, or it may be possible to sell all the let- 
tuce, and intercrop with beets, turnips or other small, 
quick-maturing vegetables.
