SPECIALTIES FOR THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 
WHY NOT PLANT A VEGETABLE GARDEN? Seeds are cheap, fertilizer is still rather inexpensive, sweat and labor 
can be devoted to more profitable use than in playing golf, and there’s a patriotic angle also to consider. The U. S. Dept. of 
Agriculture seems to think we'll need to just about double our production of vegetables for the ensuing year. You can do your 
share ... by planting a backyard vegetable garden. A space 10x40 feet is both convenient and ample, and is about all the 
space readily available in most gardens.

HOW TO GROW THEM 
“ROOT CROPS” 
The first step in planting a vegetable is to examine 
your soil for type and condition. If your soil is light 
(sandy) and is well drained (which it should be) re- 
member that in this type of soil, the root crops thrive. 
These are: carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, 
onions, and in the summer months, tomatoes, lettuce 
and sweet corn. These crops all demand a light, loose 
and airy soil. They also need plenty of fertilization 
and demand regular and adequate irrigation.
