Make a Plan for your Vegetable Garden 
A New and Accurate Way to Plan Your Vegetable Garden 
Don’t Let the Shortage of Farm Labor Defeat Our War Effort—PLAN NOW to Plant Later! 
INSTRUCTIONS: All garden crops can be divided into three groups— 
(1) Long season crops which occupy space for the entire growing season. These we will call “"L” crops. 
(2) Early short season crops, which can be planted early and which will mature early. These we will call “E. S$.” crops. 
be followed by second and sometimes third crops. 
(3) Follow-up crops—are crops which can be planted in the same rows occupied by the “’E. S.’’ crops, after the ’’E. S.’’ crops have been har- 
vested. This group we will call ‘’F’’ crops. 
If your garden does not contain representatives from each of these three groups, you are not getting the most out of your space or efforts. 
Assuming that the diagram below is your garden—First fill in the varieties of vegetables, etc., that your family likes; that is, in the spaces 
marked ‘’L’’ crops—select one or more crops listed under ‘’L’’ crops. Make sure that the planting distances are matched; that ts, if the space 
you are filling in is a two-foot row, the crop you select must also be one requiring two feet of growing space, etc. 
After you have decided the kinds and varieties that you want, fill in the quantities that are required to satisfy the needs of your family or to 
fill up the space that you have available. The seed requirement chart will give you this information. 
After you have the spaces filled in, copy off the kinds and quantities of seeds, roots, plants or sets that you require and mail this list to us.
