TURNIPS 



Culture. For early Turnips sow as soon as the ground is warm 

 enough. For winter use sow from the middle of July until the end 

 of August. Small varieties will be ready for use in six to eight weeks. 

 The seed is generally sown broadcast, but larger crops are obtained, 

 particularly of Rutabagas, by cultivating in drills i8 inches apart and 

 thinning to 6 inches apart in the drills. 



One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; i pound of seed to the acre in 

 drills; 2 to 3 pounds to the acre if sown broadcast

VEGETABLE PLANTS 



GROWN AT MY FLORACROFT GREENHOUSE 



I have unusually good facilities for growing vegetable plants in 

 my extensive greenhouses at Floracroft. The growers are practical 

 men, who know just what every plant should be, and who grow it 

 so it will give results. The plants are not forced, but are grown in 

 coolhouses and hardened off so they will keep right on growing when 

 moved to the open ground. They are transplanted frequently, and 

 every plant has strong, fibrous roots, far better than can be had in 

 the Southern-grown stock which floods the market in the spring.. 

 Our potted Eggplants and potted Bonny Best and Earliana Tomato 

 plants have a great reputation. If you want plants in quantities 

 order early, and I will grow them especially for you at reduced 

 prices.
