SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Turnip 



1 oz. to 150 ft, of drill; 1 lb. per acre. 



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 tall 

 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 deep. A very pop- 

 ular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between 

 rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard. Proper con- 

 trol of root maggots is effected by rotation of crops, the 

 use of commercial fertilizers instead of manure and the 

 application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic acid emulsion.

Rutabagas or Swedes 



Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than ordinary varieties of 

 turnips, but are more solid, of firmer 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.
