Halakhah for Kilayim 3:4

הַנּוֹטֵעַ שְׁתֵּי שׁוּרוֹת שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִין, שְׁתֵּי שׁוּרוֹת שֶׁל דְּלוּעִים, שְׁתֵּי שׁוּרוֹת שֶׁל פּוֹל הַמִּצְרִי, מֻתָּר. שׁוּרָה שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל דְּלוּעִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל פּוֹל הַמִּצְרִי, אָסוּר. שׁוּרָה שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל דְּלוּעִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל פּוֹל הַמִּצְרִי, וְשׁוּרָה שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִים, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מַתִּיר, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִין:

If one plants two rows of cucumbers, two rows of gourds and two rows of Egyptian beans [with furrows separating between them], it is permitted [because they are discernable]. [However, if he planted] one row of cucumbers, one row of gourds and one row of Egyptian beans, they are prohibited [they appear to have been planted together]. [If he planted] one row of cucumbers, one row of gourds and one of Egyptian beans, and [then ] a row of cucumbers, Rabbi Eliezer permits, and the Sages prohibit.
