 One ounce -ivill sow 200 feci of drill. 



For the spring crop sow the different early kinds 

 as early as the seed can ba got into the ground in 

 drills 14 inches apart, and thin to five or six inches. 

 For the fall or main crop, sow, at the north, from 

 the middle of July to the last of August, in drills 

 as directed for the spring somng. In the field the 

 turnips are more generally sown broadcast thoug 

 much the larger crops are obtained by drill cul 

 ture. Always sow your Turnips as soon after a rain 

 as the ground can be raksd, or harrowed fine if pos- 

 sible. If sown before a hea-vy rain there is fomied 

 a crust which generally smothers the sprouting seed. 



ARDY WHITE WINTER. This fine 



variety we find to be one of the sweetest 

 and the most tender in flavor we have ever eaten. 

 As shown in the illustration it differs from all 

 other varieties, being conical shape like the Ox- 

 heart Carrot. It grows to large size, still it grows 

 rapidly and cannot be surpassed for late sowing, 

 for use in Autumn and Winter. The root is pure 

 white, very smooth, and grows almost entirely in 

 the ground; being very hard}', it can be dug 

 late and is one of the best keepers. The flesh 

 is crisp, sweet and of excellent quality. It will 

 become a great favorite with gardeners when better 

 nown. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., ^ lb. 33
