RUTABAGAS, or swedes. 



2 lbs. to the acre. 



These grow to larger size with more solid flesh than the early varieties 

 of Turnips which are raised generally in the Middle and Southern States. 

 They need rich soil and good cultivation. As they require longer time to 

 mature growth, the seed should be sown early in July. For field culture 

 sow thinly in drills on slightly raised ridges three feet apart, thinning the 

 plants when well started to stand six to eight inches apart, giving them 

 constant cultivation during growth. Late in Fall the tops should be trim- ( 

 med off and roots stored in pits or root-cellars for use during Winter and I 

 Spring. Well ripened bulbs will keep in fine condition until laie in Spring, c 



EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS. 



40 lbs. to the acre ; 1 lb to 250 square feet. 



Nothing adds 

 more to the attractive- 

 ness of a suburban 

 home than a beautiful 

 lawn. 



The essentials for 

 a fine lawn are : 



First. A rich, well 

 drained soil. 



Second. Ground 

 carefully worked. 



Third. A wi.se se- 

 lection of seeds. 



Fourth. Sowing 

 at such a time as to 

 give the young plants 

 a chance to become 

 well established before 

 being subjected to 

 very dry or very cold 

 weather. 



Too much care 

 cannot be bestowed 

 upon the selection of 

 grasses, as some varie- 

 ties are the most 

 luxuriant in Spring, 

 others in Summer, 

 others again in the 

 Autumn, and a combination of the proper sorts is required for a perfect carpet-like lawn. 



We have given much thought and made many experiments to secure the best selection, and think our 

 ture the best possible for permanent lawns. It may be planted early in the Spring or Fall. Lb., 20c.; 35 



evergreen mix- 

 lbs., 14.50.
