GARDEN 

Select Crops Wisely 
Early cabbage is a good companion plant for 
lettuce; the young plants can be set in the let- 
tuce rows, and the lettuce is out of the way 
before the cabbage is large enough to inter- 
fere. When there is room for corn, it may be 
used as a companion crop with squash or cu- 
cumbers planted between the rows; or pole 
beans may be planted in the corn hills, and 
the stalks used as support. 
In planting for succession, root crops should 
seldom follow root crops, nor leaf crops follow 
leaf crops. Here are a few combinations that 
have proved successful in small gardens: 
Early peas followed by late cabbage or celery. 
Lettuce followed by parsnips. 3 
Spinach, lettuce, early beets, followed by beans. 
Early beans followed by fall beets. 
Early carrots followed by endive. 
Early onions followed by kale. | 
Peas followed by turnips or winter radishes. 
Use Good Judgment in Buying Seeds 
Good seeds are inexpensive. Buy them liber- 
ally. Those not weld in the first planting 
can be used for succession plantings. It \is 
always better to have a thick stand of seed- 
lings and thin them out to the proper distances 
than to have a poor stand in the beginning. 
Be sure to thin rigorously until the plants are 
at the required distances given on the packets. 
Always select varieties that are suited to your 
locality. You will find FERRY’S PUREBRED
