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.
