Plant 1144 ounces to 150 foot rows, 4 pounds to 
one acre. Sow broadcast, or in rows ll4 to 2 
feet apart. Cover a half-inch. Thin out as 
overcrowding hinders proper development.

nips and Rutabagas are also used extensively 
for feeding stock; however, do not feed them 
to milch cows as it affects the taste of the 
milk. The approximate number of days to

varies with climatic and soil conditions.

VEGETABLE PEAR 
CHAYOTE or MERLITON 
Culture — Planting time, Southern States: 
Spring, March to May. The Vegetable Pear 
makes an excellent dish whether creamed, 
fried, stuffed, baked with cheese or as a 
salad. It is grown on a long ornamental vine 
similar to the gourd, to which family it be- 
longs. The vine is usually trailed on a trellis 
or fence. Plant the whole pear with broad 
end down, leaving small end slightly ex- 
posed. Never plant less than two for suc- 
cessful results of production.

WHITE SHALLOTS 
Culture — Planted August to March. For 
home consumption and Northern markets. 6 
bushels per acre in 4 foot rows. The quantity 
to be expected from an acre, if planted in 
field culture, 4 foot rows, would be from 50 
to 60 barrels; but if planted, as is done near 
New Orleans, in 2 foot rows, 100 to 125 bar- 
tels if planted in August and September. If 
planted later, they do not multiply so well.
