TWO CROPS FOR ONE SPACE 
Unless you raise vegetables for quantity, 
storage or freezing, limit planting of any 
type to family’s probable use in fresh form. 
Set perennial crops (Asparagus, Rhubarb, 
Artichoke, etc.) at one side of garden. They 
are permanent. Next to perennials set 
crops that occupy the ground through grow- 
ing season (tomatoes, squash, pole beans, 
late potatoes, etc.). This leaves remaining 
space for serial planting and rotation of 
crops. Before the Tomatoes, Squashes, etc., 
are set out, their space may be given to 
radishes, lettuce and other quick-growing 
early spring crops (Peas, early Potatoes, 
etc.) are harvested, clear the area and re- 
place with later crops (Bush Beans, late 
Potatoes, late Cabbage). Save space by 
staking Tomatoes, Cucumbers, etc. Set aside

a small space for sowing Lettuce, Kale and 
other seeds that can be transplanted to the 
main garden later. Seedlings from this area 
can get started and be ready to set out 
when other crops have finished and their 
ground space is cleared. Make every inch 
of space count. 
Shade-loving vegetables, such as Lettuce, 
can be planted on the shady side of tall- 
growing things. Sun-lovers should go upon 
sunny side of tall plants. Heavy-fruited 
things, such as Squashes, can be allowed 
to sprawl on banks or run over fences—if 
support is placed under developing fruits. 
De You Plant by the Moon? 
For those of our customers who follow the ancient practice of planting by 
the moon, we have prepared this handy reference chart. It shows the day 
and the hour at which the moon enters each of its phases. For instance, on 
January 21st at 9:43 P.M., the moon enters the first quarter. It remains in this 
phase until January 29th at 3:44 P.M., when it becomes full. 
One or two plants of Zucchini or other types New First Full ks Last 
of Squash—or Pumpkin—are enough to meet Moon Quar Moon Ren § Quar.
