lf 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 

Signs of the Zodiac 
and Their Influence 
‘p ARIES: Tends to dryness, 
barrenness. Fairly good for culti- 
vating, spraying and destroying 
weeds. Plant onions. 
0 TAURUS: Fairly productive. 
A good sign for planting root 
crops, particularly potatoes and 
bulbous plants. 
[[ GEMINI: Dry and barren. 
Not good for any kind of plant- 
ing or transplanting. Kill noxious 
growths. 
O5 CANCER: Moist, very fruit- 
ful, most productive of the Zodi- 
ac. Planting and transplanting 
should yield good crops. Irrigate, 
bud, graft, transplant. 
GQ. LEO: Most dry and barren 
sign. Use only to kill weeds, de- 
stroy roots, etc. 
Tm VIRGO: Moist but barren. 
Not recommended for planting or 
transplanting; good for cultivat- 
ing and destroying. 
— LIBRA: Fairly fruitful. Seed 
for hay, corn, fodder, etc. Pro- 
duces vigorous pulp growth, rea- 
sonable amount of grain. Good 
for flowers. 
tT SCORPIO: Next to Cancer in 
productiveness. Irrigate but do 
not dig potatoes. 
x SAGITTARIUS: Generally 
considered barren but used by 
many for onions, seeding for hay, 
destroying weeds, etc. 
\y§ CAPRICORN: Earthly, fair- 
ly productive. Similar to Taurus 
but drier. Bulbous flowers, pota- 
toes, tubers, root crops. 
av AQUARIUS. Somewhat bar- 
ren. Good only for cultivation 
and extermination of pests. 
3}€ PISCES: Similar to Cancer so 
use for same purposes. Very pro- 
ductive. Do not dig potatoes. 
When to Plant 
The table at the right shows 
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, Cen- 
tral Standard Time). Then we 
show the moon CHANGES (day 
and hour) for each month. 
@ Ist QUARTER, MOON IN- 
CREASING—During Ist Quarter 
of Moon plant the following: As- 
paragus, Broccoli, Brussels 
Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, 
Celery, Corn, Cucumbers, Endive, 
Kohlrabi, Leek, Lettuce, Spinach, 
Barley, Oats, Wheat, Rye.

CREASING—During 2nd Quarter 
of Moon plant the following: 
Beans, Egg Plant, Melons, Peas, 
Pepper, Pumpkin, Squash, To- 
matoes, flowers, and cereals. 
When possible, plant seed 
while the Moon is in the fruit- 











form. 
in condensed 







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.
