HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
INTENSIVE CULTIVATION 
A NY garden in which every square foot of ground is 
-f*- utilized to best advantage is really a good example 
of intensive cultivation. The several phases of gardening 
that stand for intensive cultivation are i, a careful 
planning ahead of time which crops should follow each 
other in one and the same row; 2, the proper use of 
space between rows of late vegetables for quickly matur- 
ing crops early in the season and 3, the sowing, at one 
and the same time, of several kinds of vegetable seeds 
in one and the same row. 
The last named is difficult to practice and requires 
the knowledge and experience of a trained gardener. 
The other two are largely a matter of applying common 
sense and of putting to a test such theories as every home 
gardener forms from season to season. References will 
be found throughout this book as to the vegetables that 
lend themselves readily to the different kinds of intensive 
cultivation.
