Late, wiltarly and resistant. Peppers, half a roll. Radishes, lettuces and on onions next to the house. Asparagus and rhubarb beds at the side. Four rows of sweet corn along the fence.

For convenience of illustration, all early crops except tomatoes and chard are removed from the model. Here are the later crops. Four rows of u. S. Number five beans. Two rows of squash along the fence. Three rows of late potatoes. Late cabbage. Carrots and beets, half double rows each
