For the conven lence of those who 
have only a limited space at their com¬ 
mand, the accompanying plan is sug¬ 
gested as an aid in laying out a small 
kitchen garden. 
Where the rows are made the dis¬ 
tances apart indicated on this diagram, 
thirty-five feet are required in one di¬ 
rection. 
If the rows are to run east and west 
it is desirable to have the corn at the 
north end, otherwise the corn is likely 
to shade too much the rows near it on 
the north side. * 
The rows may be as long as space 
permits or individual preferences may 
call for, and where space is less limited, 
more rows of favorite sorts may be 
added or provision made for other vege¬ 
tables or flowers that may be desired. 
The Asparagus, Horse Radish and 
Rhubarb should be permanent beds. 
Among the varieties of vegetables 
that we recommend, mentioned some¬ 
what in order of planting, are the fol¬ 
lowing:

Marigolds, Verbenas and Zinnias, all are easily 
grown. A few packets of flowers well grown will 
give an abundant harvest of pleasure. 
Each packet of seed gives cultural directions suf¬ 
ficient to insure success under normal conditions, and 
more detailed suggestions for many sorts will be 
found in t\\e following pages.
