Note. — Two rows of Spinach , and two rows of Lettuce may be grown iu the 
space to be occupied later by Egg-plant , Pepper, and Tomato. Similarly two rows 
of On ion sets may occupy the ground to be used later for growing Beets. Lettuce may 
be sown directly in the drill where the plants are to mature, or, it may be sown in a seed 
bed or shallow box and the seedlings transplanted to their permanent quarters when they 
are two or three inches high. Cabbage or L aullf lower are best sown in seed bed 
and transplanted later. Unless one has a greenhouse or other facilities for raising tender 
seedlings, it is better to obtain plants of Tomato , Egg-plavt, and Pepper from a 
seedsman at planting time.
