Lesson I 
Plant one row of potatoes five feet from 
the west end. Dig a furrow three inches 
deep and plant the pieces* about one 
foot apart, beginning at the line. Cover 
at least two inches with mellow soil and 
pat down with the back of hoe. 
Plant, two feet east of potatoes, one 
row of cabbage seed in hills two feet apart. 
Sow five or six seeds in each hill. Make 
the hill by loosening the soil with the hoe 
and removing about one inch of soil. 
Cover the seed one-half inch with fine 
soil and make it firm over the seed. 
Plant, five feet from east end, one row 
of lettuce. Mark out the row about one- 
half inch deep and sow the seed one to two 
inches apart. Cover with fine soil one- 
fourth inch and press it down. 
Plant, one foot east of lettuce, one row 
of radishes. Mark out the same as for 
* The potato tubers are cut into pieces of one or 
two eyes each.
