PLANTING for SUCCESSION CROPS 
The Secret of 
Maximum Production 
Whatever the size or location of your 
garden plot, you can get much more 
out of it if you make the right use of 
succession and companion crops. 
Planning for a steady succession of 
crops from each row is really a very 
simple matter of timing. The sample 
plan at the right demonstrates the prin- 
ciples of this important idea. 
The rows shown in black (first plant- 
ing) are— 
(a) Early crops, which, when harvested, 
are followed by later crops. (In the 
3rd row, for instance, cabbage is 
planted early in April and harvested 
in July to make room for late beets.) 
(b) Crops which remain in the garden 
(snap and lima beans, peppers, etc.). 
The rows shown in red are-— 
(a) Succession crops that are planted in 
the same space after the early crops 
are harvested (fall spinach after 
onions, winter squash after early 
beets, etc.). 
(b) Companion crops or quick-maturing 
crops interplanted with slow-matur- 
ing crops (onion sets or lettuce, for 
example, planted between the young 
tomato plants will be harvested be- 
fore the tomato vines require the 
entire space). 
THE FACTS YOU NEED 
Following each vegetable listing in this 
catalog you will find the term of matu- 
rity, so you will know how to space your 
plantings in the matter of time. 
On page 16 you will find a chart to guide 
you in spacing between plants, between 
rows, amount of seed required, etc. With 
this information you are ready to map 
out a garden that will make full use of 
every foot of space. 
Below are other suggested plans. You 
can, of course, work out variations of 
your own— which will completely fit 
your own preferences and space limi- 
tations.
