RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES 



Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to matnre than 

 ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of flrmer 

 flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for 

 this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are 

 better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either 

 in drills or broadcast.

Turnip — Autumn King 



Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted 

 in early spring or in the fall. For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while 

 for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to August. Sow in 

 rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch 

 'eep. A very popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows 

 of com or in the cultivated orchard. Proper control of root maggots 

 is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers in- 

 stead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic 

 acid emulsion.
