seed-beds. Cover about 3^inch. Transplant when large enough to handle.

Plant Your Winter Vegetable Garden Now!

D uring the fall months, thousands of acres in winter vegetable crops are planted by market gardeners
and commercial truckers. These important and profitable crops are harvested during January, February,
and March and distributed in carlots to all of the large consuming markets of the United States and Canada.

The commercial trucker does not need to be told when to plant, for it is
his business to know, but the home gardener, generally, is overlooking an
opportunity and should consider having a winter garden that his table may,
be supplied regularly with a full supply of fresh, crisp, tender vegetables at
a time when they are usually scarce and high-priced.

In most sections of the South, where the majority of our customers are
located, the following vegetables may be planted during the fall, with gratify-
ing success:

Cabbage, Beets, Beans, Cauliflower, Carrots,

Kale, Lettuce, Mustard, Celery, Onions, Garden
or English Peas, Radishes, Spinach, Turnips, Ruta-
bagas, Swiss Chard, Salsify, Leeks, Parsley, Kohl-
rabi, Endive, Parsnips, Squash, Brussels Sprouts,

Shallots or Multiplying Green Onions.

During November and December, throughout the
lower South, Cucumbers, Eggplants, Peppers, and
Tomatoes are planted in hotbeds for setting out dur-
ing early spring when all danger of frost has passed.
