RUTA BAQAS. 
Sow two to three pounds per acre. 
CULTURE— Ruta Baga seed should be sown 
tliree or (bur weeks earlier than that of the 
table varieties of turnips. The ground 
should be enriched with well-rotted manure 
and the seed sown in drills inches apart 
and thinned out to 6 or 8 inches in the rows. 
When the roots have fully matured and be- 
fore severe weather sets in, pull, cut oft the 
tops and store them in a root-cellar or pit. 
In some sections the seed is sown broad-cast 
and the Ruta Bagas are allowed to take 
theirchances withthe weeds, bnt thismethod 
is seldom successful except on new clearing.

TREE SEEDS. 
Many varieties arc easily grown It should also be remembered that while some kinds sprout at once, others require several weeks, and 
few lie dormant a whole season. Evergreen seed should be kept in cool, drv sand. Those with hard shells should be planted in the autumn. 1 
seeds of other deciduous trees should be planted from April to the middle of May in drills about 2 feet apart and covered about hall an inch 
depth. Varieties marked thus o will do better if planted in the fall. „
