TURNIPS. 



CULTURE. — Turnips do best in , new ground. When the soil has been worked long, 

 it should receive a top dressing of ashes. If stable manure is used the ground should 

 be manured the Spring previous to sowing, so it may be well incorporated with the soil. 

 When fresh manure is used the Turnips are apt to become speckled. Sow from end of 

 July to October for Fall and Winter, and in January, February and March for Spring and 

 Summer use. They are generally sown broadcast, but the Ruta Baga should be sown in 

 drills, or rather ridges, and should not be sown later than the end of August; the Golden 

 Ball and Aberdeen not later than the end of September. The Early White Flat Dutch, 

 Early Spring and Pomeranian Globe are the best for Spring, also good for Autumn. 

 Turnips mature in 60 to 85 days. Ruta Bagas in 75 to 100 days. One ounce to 260 feet 

 of drill; IV2 pounds to the acre. Turnips suffer from many insect pests which destroy 

 both the tops and the roots. Where these insects are leaf-eaters, Corona Dry is almost 

 a sure specific. It should be liberally applied as soon as any pests are noted and should! 

 be repeated from time to time throughout the season. 



it is, without exception, the best and most 

 popular sort for either table use or for mar- 

 ket; is of a beautiful flat form, of pure 

 white color, and of a delicate, mild flavor; 

 it produces bulbs entirely free from small 

 roots and with long narrow strap-leaves 

 growing erect, which permits close culture. 

 Packet, 5c and 10c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 60c; 

 lb., $2.00 postpaid.
