VEGETABLE PLANTING TABLE 
If you are in doubt about how or when to sow the seed or plant the plants of certain veg- 
etables, this table will give you the required information. Full cultural instructions are E 
given for each vegetable on the page where it is listed. We are always interested in providing 
any information that will enable our customers to achieve the greatest possible success 
with their gardens. Caution: Don’t cover the seed too deep. It will germinate more quickly 
if only a little soil is on the seed.
