Each rov; should be fifty feet long, and the number suggested
should be multiplied by the number of persons in the family.
Things to Observe
1. Till the ground thoroughly but not until it is dry enough
to work well.
2. Fertilize with both barnyard manure and commercial fertilizer
if possible.
3. Beginners should get cabbage, cauliflower, and celery sets
from older gardeners.
4. Cover small seeds with about one-half inch of dirt, larger
seeds with four times their diameter of soil.
5. Pack the ground after seeding.
6. Keep down all weeds. Surface dust mulch is proper, but
excessive and deeD hoeing are taboo.
. Do not permit excess plants. They act as weeds.
