TURNIP 



For early use, sow the small sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in the 

 spring, in drills 14 inches apart, the Rutabagas 30 inches. As the seed is very fine, 

 it should be covered but slightly, excepting in very dry weather. Select light, and 

 if possible, new soil and manure with plaster and ashes or phosphates. Should the 

 young plants be troubled with insects, a sprinkling of slug shot will be beneficial. 

 For fall and winter use the early kinds should be sown, from the middle of July to 

 the middle of August, and the Rutabagas from the middle of June to the first of 

 July, using from one to one and a half pounds of seed to the acre.

SEED POTATOES— MAINE OR NORTHERN CROWN 



ALL POTATOES SOLD BY WEIGHT ONLY; BUSHEL, 60 FOUNDS. 



The soil best suited to the Potato is a rich, sandy loam; but it seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate. The Potato 

 being a gross feeder requires a liberal application of manure. If stable manure is to be used it should be well-rotted, 

 and not allowed to come in contact with the tubers. On no other crop are the results from the use of pho^^^^^ fnfluence 

 fest as on the Potato. Almost invariably the tubers are smoother, brighter and freer from rust and the destructne "ifiuence 

 of wire worms. Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked m rows three feet apart and one fo^^ 

 in the rows, covering in light, warm soil about four inches, and in cold wet ground three inches deep; draw the earth to the 

 planti as they advance in growth. The soil should be constantly stirred through the season to prevent the surface from 

 baking.

 list for Rose Potatoes and is today one of the best early

 duces as good crops as those which made the Early 

 Rose famous in its early years.
