Which vegetables are actually the 
best for high vitamin content? 
All fresh vegetables are high in the 
vitamins which we all need for proper 
nourishment. If we could eat enough 
vegetables fresh from the garden, we 
wouldn’t need to buy our vitamins in 
pills at the drug store. 
But some vegetables are especially 
_ high in certain vitamins— 
For Vitamin A—eat plenty beet greens, 
broccoli, collards, endive (escarole), 
mustard greens, and spinach. 
For Vitamin B—brussels sprouts, kale, 
green lima beans, and peas. 
For Vitamin C—beet greens, broccoli, 
brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, 
-mustard greens, peppers and spinach. 
For Vitamin G—beet greens, collards, 
kale, mustard greens and spinach. © 
What are some good combinations 
for succession planting? For “inter- 
cropping’? 
The early crops that can be harvested 
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, 
and 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 
fighting 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 
20-25 pounds per 1000 square feet be- 
_ fore last year’s crab grass seed has at 
chance to sprout. Apply this as a dust Ales 
or spray. Damage to the blue-grass will 
be avoided if this treatment is followed 
by application of a fertilizer rich in 
nitrogen. iH fi: 
Where crab grass has actually ap- 
peared, a direct chemical attack is nec- 
essary. New weed killers have been 
perfected which kill the pest without 
injury to your lawn. (Ask us about 
them.) 
Along with these methods of attack, 
you can regulate your ordinary rou- 
tine of mowing, watering, and fertiliz- 
ing to help the fight on crab grass. High 
cutting helps, because a thick mat of 
grass has a better chance to smother 
the crab grass seedlings. Watering in- 
frequently but heavily helps, too, be- 
cause the young seedlings can’t reach 
the deep moisture,

‘p 2nd QUARTER, MOON IN- 
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. 

Signs of the Zodiac 
and Their Influence 
ARIES: Tends to dryness, 
barrenness. Fairly good for cul- 
tivating, spraying and destroy-. 
ing weeds. Plant onions. 
vy TAURUS: Fairly productive. 
A good sign for planting root 
crops, particularly potatoes and 
bulbous plants. 
xt GEMINI: Dry and barren. 
Not good for any kind of plant-

sign. Use only to kill weeds,
