The laying out ot the vegetable
garden on paper is deBfrable for
the purposes of economy of time
and space. In the first place, and
in order to insure . the proper
placing of tbe vegetables in regard
to sun and shade and convenience
in cultivating. ' Where practicable,
the rows should: run north and
south to give an equal division of
sunshine. - . ; . "'' ; : r 1
. t; The. taller-growing vegetables,
such as corn. and. pole beans, are
usually placed towards-tbe west
erly portion of the garden; because
they, will .east shade then only
during the hottest portion of the
day when a little shade; may be
helpful. Tbe earliest vegetables
usually are placed nearest to the(
back door . for convenience j in
gathering , in spring when, the
earth is likely to be muddy and
where there will be no necessity
