"Between the cherry or plum trees, as most convenient, set one dozen gooseberry bushes. Use two-year-old plants and place them four feet apart. Also one dozen currant bushes, set the same distance in the row. Radish, lettuce and onion sets may be planted in any vacant spaces between these plants and trees the first two years. One dozen horse radish roots may be set out eighteen inches apart in the row. "Raise in a hot bed, or buy for early plant- ing, plants of tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, and cauliflower. Set for first use one dozen dwarf Champion tomato plants, eighteen inches apart in the row and one dozen each early Acme and Beauty tomato plants thirty-six inches apart in the row. "In March set two dozen plants early Wake- field cabbage and later one hundred plants of Copenhagen market cabbage. This is the best second early and late cabbage for dry land farm- ers. Set cabbage plants twenty inches in the row. "Set one dozen Cayenne pepper plants and one dozen Mango pepper plants eighteen inches apart in the row. "One dozen plants early Snowball cauliflower twenty inches apart in the row, and treat the same as early cabbage. "One hundred plants of late Giant Pascal cel- ery eight inches apart in a trench with well rotted manure. "Peas—Sow as soon as can be planted, Early Alaska, one pound; Gradus, one pound and two weeks later, Everbearing, one pound. One pound of seed peas is sufficient for fifty feet of row. "Beets—One ounce New Eclipse is sufficient for fifty feet of row. The young beets can be thinned to supply greens first and young beets for cooking. After thinning, the beets left can be gathered in the fall for winter use. "Mang
