209. Earliana Improved. (90 days.) This 

 is Bolgiano's special strain and produces 

 heavier crops of smoother fruit than the 

 old type. Fruits are medium size, flat- 

 tened, firm, bright red. Always reaches

TURNIPS 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 

 2 pounds, an acre. 



Prices include postage on pkts., ozs., 

 Vilbs., and lbs. 



Turnip roots provide vitamin C but Turnip 

 tops not only rate excellent as suppliers of 

 vitamins A and C but contain goodly quan- 

 tities of calcium and iron. Never discard 

 Turnip tops. Used as fresh "greens" they 

 are palatable and highly nutritious. 



Culture. They do best in highly en- 

 riched, light, sandy or gravelly soils. Com- 

 mence sowing the earliest varieties in April 

 in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin 

 out early to 6 to 9 inches in rows. For a suc- 

 cession sow at intervals of a fortnight until 

 the last week in July; from then until the end 

 of August sowing may be made for the fall 

 and main crop. Turnips may be preserved 

 until spring by cutting off the tops about 

 1 inch from the bulb, storing in the cellar or 

 cold shed during the winter, covering the 

 roots with dry sand. They should be har- 

 vested before the severe frost sets in, for, 

 though comparatively hardy, few will sur- 

 vive the winters of the Northern States in 

 the open ground.
