Which Seesciables are actually the 
best” for high vitamin content? 
AL 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 
is -wouldn’t need to buy our vitamins in 
pills < at the drug store. 
But some vegetables are cobecally: 
. “high i 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 a 
chance to sprout. Apply this as a dust _ 
or spray. Damage to the blue-grass will 
_be avoided if this treatment is followed _ 
by application of a heey rich in 
nitrogen. ul 
Where crab grass had actuslly ap- 
_ peared, a direct chemical attack is nec- 
essary. New weed killers have been | 
wa perfected which kill the pest without 
injury to your lawn. (Ask us about - 
them.) 
_ Along with these methods of ae 
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, 
first the time at which the moon 
enters each SIGN (day of the 
Central Standard Time). Then
