GUIDE POSTS IN GARDENING 
1. DO—Locate the garden in an open spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun light 
each day, away from the roots of trees that might rob the soil of moisture and fertility. 
2. IF you have heavy clay or light sand use decayed vegetable matter, old rotted manure, 
peet moss, commercial humus or well rotted manure to improve it. 
3. APPLY FERTILIZER—Use about 30 Ibs. of Sheep manure, cow manure, or Vigoro per 
1,000 sq. ft. and you will not have to worry about deficiencies. 
4. DON’T plant in Wet ground. If the soil sticks together when a ball is made and will 
not crumble when light pressure is applied it is too wet to work. 
CELERY 
Place a stake at each,end of the row and stretch a line 
tightly between them. DON’T TRY TO MAKE ROWS 
WITHOUT A LINE OR STRAIGHT EDGE. 
Make the furrow for the seed with a hoe. Fine seed, 
(carrots, cauliflower, collards, beets, etc.) should not be 
planted more than \Y% inch deep. Medium seeds (okra, 
spinach, cucumber) | inch deep. In heavy soils, beans, 
squash, onion sets and peas need not more than 1 inch, 
but the soil must be moist. In lighter soils 2 inches is 
deep enough. 
The old theory that seed] should be planted deep enough 
to come in contact with soil moisture still holds, but in 
dry weather the soil should be watered thoroughly before 
planting so the moisture will be right at the surface. If 
the row is then covered with a board, grass sacks, or 
paper until the seed germinates, it will not be necessary 
to bury the seed very deep even though the weather is 
dry. 
fess Brothers Sure Crop Seeds germinate freely, so it is a 
mistake to plant it too thickly. This is especially true if it 
is treated with ROOTONE, which speeds up germination 
and root growth. 
Set out plants in June or July 6 to 8 inches 
apart in rows 3 ft. apart. To blanch draw 
earth around the plants. Boards or paper may 
be used.
