Which yeretables are actually the

All fresh vegetables are high in the

pills at the drug store. 
But ‘some vegetables are especially 
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, 
What are some good combinations 
for succession planting? For “inter- | 
cropping”? 
The early crops that-can be harvested 
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, 
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 fertilizer rich in 
peared, a direct chemical attack is nec- 
injury to your lawn. (Ask us about 
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
