may become available by middle of August for such crops 
as spinach, turnips, winter radishes, or even celery. Any 
of these will yield the crop where frost does not check 
vegetation before middle of October. 
Section No. 2, devoted principally to root crops as 
shown above, of a long growing season should be planned 
in rows, two feet apart, so as to permit cultivation with a 
wheelhoe during the latter part of the season. 1 his dis- 
tance also makes possible the growing of a crop of extra 
early vegetables between the long season root crops 
early in the spring. For illustration, beets, carrots, 
parsnips, etc., have very small tops while in the seedling 
stage. Throughout May, June, and early July, such 
vegetables as radishes, lettuce, green onions, etc., may be

Section No. 3 will be the busiest of them all, perhaps, 
because starting with early spring crops, the ground will 
become available again within sixty or ninety days, when 
other midseason crops of short season of bearing, like 
bush beans, early beets, early carrots, early sweet corn,
