 are usually broadcast during July or August on land from which some early 

 crop has been removed. 



Rutabagas are usually sown in June in drills 2J^ feet apart. Thin out to 

 6 inches apart in rows. 



i ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill; 3 pounds an acre

 flavor, white below, with a bright purple top; flesh white. Leaves

 type of medium size and excellent quality for spring sowing.

 with bright purple top and few leaves. Flesh white and choice. Good

 flavored sort of medium size, very handsome, smooth and clear ivory- 

 white both inside and out.

YELLOW GLOBE. A wonderful cropper, and keeps far into 

 the following year. It begins to bulb at the very start and 

 forms large roots and small tops. 



BOLGIANO'S PERFECT MODEL RUTABAGA. Excel- 

 lent for table use. Flesh golden yellow, very sweet, not the 

 least bit stringy or tough, and remains solid and crisp until 

 spring — never gets pithy. Far superior to other varieties 

 and much better than the Swede Turnip. Home and market 

 gardeners will appreciate it.
