Feed Vegetables As They Grow 
Quick growth means tender vegetables. Try feeding 
your vegetables as they grow. Apply 5-10—5 Garden Fer- 
tilizer on each side of the row about 4 to 6 inches away from 
the stems. Make sure that no fertilizer comes in contact 
with the foliage. Use about 4 pounds per 100 square feet 
of garden area every three to five weeks. The plant-food 
is then worked into the soil with a rake. The ideal time to 
feed is just before a rain. 



Lettuce 
For an early crop of head Lettuce, start seed in a sunny win- 
dow indoors or in a hotbed or coldframe. Transplant as soon 
as seedlings are large enough to handle. It takes four to six 
weeks to grow plants large enough to set out. Allow 15 inches 
between plants and the same distance between rows. Head 
Lettuce grows best in cool weather. Prepare soil well in ad- 
vance. Seed can also be sown in open ground. Leaf Lettuce 
can be sown in a hotbed or coldframe and cut for use as needed. 
Sow in open ground for a source of supply in summer. Leaf 
Lettuce is the best kind for a warm-weather crop. For a late 
Lettuce crop sow seed September 1 in the coldframe and with a 
little protection you can have Lettuce up to Thanksgiving.

Melons grow best in light rich soil. Do not set out plants or

seed is usually sown in hills 6 feet apart each way; 3 plants to a

vent them from rooting. As fruits ripen, applications of water 
help to hasten maturity.
