U2 THE SEED-GROWER. 



Seven Top and kindred sorts are nearly all grown in 

 the Southern States, seed being produced there cheaper 

 than elsewhere and is first-class in quality. 



In a favorable season, from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds of 

 turnip seed are an average yield per acre; ruta baga 

 is somewhat more, ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds. 

 Of 'course, there have been exceptionally greater yields, 

 a crop of turnip having been produced in Nebraska of 

 about 2,000 pounds per acre. 



European seed is laid down in New York, duty in- 

 cluded, at about ten cents per pound.
