Turnip Greens Are Excellent for Vitamins A&C 



TURNIPS 



Culture — Planted August to November. For 

 home consumption and Northern markets. 

 Plant 11/2 ounces to 150 foot rows, 4 pounds to 

 one acre. Sow broadcast, or in rows II/2 to 2 

 feet apart. Cover a half-inch. Thin out as 

 overcrowding hinders proper development. 

 Turnips grow better in a light, rich soil. Tur- 

 nips and Rutabagas are also used extensively 

 for feeding stock; however, do not feed them 

 to milch cov/"s as it affects the taste of the 

 milk. The approximate number of days to 

 maturity is given after each variety. This 

 varies with climatic and soil conditions.

days. Medium size, flat grained and ten- 

 der, an excellent variety.

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 salad. It 

 is grown on a long ornamental vine similar to 

 the gourd, to which family it belongs. The 

 vine is usually trailed on a trellis or fence. 

 Plant the whole pear with broad end down, 

 leaving small end slightly exposed. Never 

 plant less than two for successful results of 

 production.

 Merliton).

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 barrels if 

 planted in August and September. If planted 

 later, they do not multiply so well.
