VEGETABLE PLANTING CHART 
(For Planting: Flowers, See Pages 44, 45, 46) 
Planting time varies, depending on your location. This chart is based on St. Louis time. If you live farther north, planting 
time would be later; farther south, sooner. Depth of planting is given for light loam where seeds are planted deeper than in 
clay soil.
