VEGETABLE GARDENING 
Do not plant bush beans closer than I foot from the 
muskmelons. Two hills of pole beans may be substi- 
tuted for the muskmelons. Bush beans may be planted 
two weeks earlier than melons. 
29. Corn and Beans. A New Jersey grower plants 
two or three beans with each grain of corn. The beans 
are marketed first and the yield of corn is apparently not 
affected. 
30. Peaches and Tomatoes. Tomatoes are grown 
extensively in the young peach orchards on the eastern 
shore of Maryland. 
31. Apples, Peas and Tomatoes. A New Jersey 
grower plants early peas in his young apple orchards. 
The peas are followed by tomatoes, and crimson clover 
is sown at the last cultivation of the tomatoes. 
32. Cabbage and Tomatoes.

Midsummer varieties of cabbage, planted early; late 
tomatoes, planted in June or earlier if climate requites 
earlier planting. 
33. Fruit Trees and Peas and Beans. An excellent 
combination for young orchards is to plant peas early 
in the spring and follow with bush beans. The beans 
should be sold in the pod or allowed to ripen for dry 
shell beans.
