Which vegetables are actually the 
pest for high vitamin content? 
Al fresh vegetables are high in the 
vitamins which we all need for proper 
-. nourish :ment. If we could eat enough. 
a vegeta bles fresh from the garden, we 
~ -wouldn’t r need to buy our vitamins in 
ills a t | e drug store. 
vegetables are especially 
in ertain vitamins— 
min A—eat plenty beet greens, 
1 
ns, and spinach, 
rin: B—brussels sprouts, kale, 
a beans, and peas. 
or Vitamin C—heet greens, broccoli, 
5 brussels sprouts, — cauliflower, 
nus stard ‘greens, peppers and spinach. 
, Vitamin G—beet greens, collards, 
ale, mustard greens and spinach, 
“* That are some good combinations 
ag _ for succession planting? For “inter- 
cropping”? 
The early crops that can be heiecend 
in time to be followed by others are: 
Early cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, 
peas, beets, radishes, carrots, kohlrabi, 
turnips, spinach, and green onions 
- from sets. * 
‘These crops may be followed by: 
- Peas (in cool sections only), late celery, 
late plantings of lettuce, beets, carrots, 
_ turnips, cabbage, cauliflower, and early 
varieties of sweet corn. 
_ For late autumn and winter vegetables, 
plant chinese cabbage, kale, mustard, 
after your early crops are harvested. 
For intercropping, plant rows of quick 
‘growing items such as lettuce, radishes, 
or spinach between the wide spaced 
rows of slower growing vegetables, 
such as celery, peas and tomatoes. 
Set early cabbage between the rows 
where tomatoes are to be planted later, 
‘Prand ‘bush beans between rows where 
eggplant and peppers will follow. 
: How can I get rid of crab grass? 
. Crab grass doesn’t start until warm 
weather, so your very first step in 
~ fizhtineg this lawn enemy No. 1, is to 
plant plenty of good seed early, and 
fertilize early. When your lawn has a 
vigorous start, it doesn’t give the weed 
an opening. 
Next, since crab grass is an annual 
which propagates itself by re-seeding, 
treat your lawn with lead arsenate 
- 20- 0-25 pounds per 1000 square feet be- 
fore last year’s crab grass seed has a 
3 chance: to sprout. Apply this as a dust 
2 or spray. Damage to the blue-grass will 
eee if this treatment is followed

If you want to PLANT BY THE MOON 
There is quite a lot of discussion about the 
effect of the moon on various crops. While 
we make no attempt to take one side or 
the other on this question, we are giving all 
the necessary information in condensed form. 
Naturally, we can’t vouch for the effectiveness 
of this method of planting. We are simply 
submitting the up-to-date charts, etc., for 
gardeners who observe the phases of the 
moon when planting.

When to Plant 
when the moon enters each sign 
of the Zodiac. It also shows 
the moon’s changes. 
Under each month, we show 
first the time at which the moon 
enters each SIGN (day of the 
month, and hour of the day, 
Central Standard Time). Then 
we show the moon CHANGES 
(day and hour) for each month.
