TOREADOR CELOSIA 
Bronze Medal 
This striking new annual is a richer 
and brighter red than the early 
crimson colored cockscombs. TORE- 
ADOR truly glows with fiery bright- 
ness and the foliage is a lighter 
green, contrasting with the large 
combs of uniform color. 
The compact, very large cockscomb 
heads are of the cristata type and by 
the end of the growing season it 
reaches about two feet with most of 
its flowering in one center comb.

Wherever you can find an available spot. do plant vegetables because vege- 
tables begin to undergo a change almost as soon as they are picked. Inevitable 
natural processes quickly alter their flavor, texture and vitamin content. That’s 
why there’s no substitute for garden-fresh vegetables. 
Points to Remember 
Divide your garden into three sections if possible: root vegetables, leaf vege- 
tables and fruit vegetables. 
By switching these three crops every year you avoid many soil-borne diseases 
and insects and you get better use of your fertilizer. This isn’t absolutely 
necessary, but it is one of those details that a smart gardener watches. 
On level ground you can run rows either east and west or north and south. 
If east and west layout is used, be sure to plant taller vegetables to the north. 
On sloping ground, the rows must run across the slope, not up and down. 
Otherwise all of your plant food will go down the hill when it rains. Plan 
to use your garden full time. To do this, youll need catch crops, intercrops 
(companion crops), and succession crops. 
Catch crops are early vegetables like spinach, that you grow very early be- 
fore a crop like late cabbage is set out. /ntercrops are planted between the 
rows of larger vegetables, like head lettuce between rows of broccoli. Succes- 
sion crops follow early crops, for instance, chinese cabbage will mature fine 
heads if planted after a crop of peas has been taken off. 
The most important point to remember in planting your vegetable garden is 
family preference. Talk it over with them, make it a family affair.
