USE THIS SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF PLANTING 
& 
You can grow by it up to three times as many vegetables in your garden without using addi¬ 
tional space. A continual supply of Sweet Com, Peas, Beans and Tomatoes and at the same time 
all the Lettuce, Radish, Spinach and Carrots you need are yours with this practical planting 
schedule. 
Make up your mind not to have a garden this year in name only yielding but a few scattered 
harvests. Instead make it work and deliver the wonderful foodstuffs it is so capable of giving when 
put under this production plan. 
Remember no dividends can equal those in dollar value that can come from a garden when good 
seed and its intelligent planting and cultivation are employed. 
Here is what we mean. The normal planting distances leave a lot of valuable land bare which must be constantly 
cultivated during the season. In this plan all the ground is productive and the garden so planned that none of the 
vegetables are hindered by shading. If the rows are run east and west the degree of shading will be very slight in the 
principal growing months. Certain vegetables differ in height and maturity and must be planned accordingly. 
Lay out the main rows three feet apart. Corn will go in these rows in hills three feet apart with the early crops 
planted first. Then in planting the Com, making a succession of plantings for a continual supply, simply pull out 
the crops where the hill is to be planted. It will take some time before the Corn is tall enough to shade, especially 
the shorter varieties like Golden Bantam which should be used. And as fast as the Corn is picked, pull or cut out 
the stalks and plant the late crops. 
Between these three foot rows make another row or the Intercrop Row. This will make the rows 18 in. apart. 
In these rows plant Peas (or Bush Beans) making successive plantings for a supply throughout the summer. In 
every other one of these Intercrop rows Pole Beans can be planted 12 ft. apart removing the Peas where the hill is to 
be planted. In the other Intercrop rows set out Tomatoes 6 ft. apart also removing the Peas that are in the way. 
The Tomatoes should be alternated so they do not come opposite a bean pole. Stake the Tomatoes and trim off 
lower branches up to 18 in. from the ground. As soon as the Peas are through bearing pull the vines and plant your 
small crops — Beets, Carrots, Kale, Parsnips, etc.
