TURNIP. 



Navet. 



JVabo. 



Culture. — For early Turnips sow as soon as ground opens in spring. Nos. 1769 to 1774 should be sown 

 from any time in July to first of August ; but the other kinds for winter use, may be sown from middle of July 

 to end of August. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, but much larger crops are obtained (particularly of 

 the Ruta-Bagas) by cultivating in drills eighteen inches apart, and thinning to six inches in the drill. Sow one 

 pound to the acre.

RUTA EAGA. 



East New York, Oct. 15, 1894. 



Messrs. J. M. Thoreurn & Co. : 



Dear Sirs— I was advised this spring to give your "Long Keeper ' 

 tomato a trial. I did so, with " Mikado " and " Ponderosa" also, but the 

 superiorly < f " Long Keeper" over both was so marked, that I feel I 

 would like to give you mv opinion of it. In shape and appearance it is 

 unsurpassed bv any tomato grown bv me, and as a slicer for table, I am 

 compelled to use the same terms. i he flavor is equally fine ; it is, in fact, 

 the peer of all tomatoes, in mv estimation. 



Respectfully yours, (Signed) Geo. Edwards.
