Turnip Greens Are Excellentfor Vitamins AaC 
TURNIPS 
Culture—Planted August to November. For 
home ‘consumption and Northern markets. 
Plant 12 ounces to 150 foot rows, 4 pounds to 
one acre. Sow broadcast, or in rows ll2 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 cows 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. 
EARLY PURPLE TOP STRAP-LEAVED—50 
days. Medium size, flat grained and ten- 
der, an excellent variety.

Large globe shape white turnip with 
purple top. One of our best and most

both for table and stock. Louse and 
disease resistant. 
WHITE FLAT DUTCH—46 days. An early

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.

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.
