MARKET FAVOURITE, CLIBRANS’.— The 
fault of a great many Tomatoes is that 
they are too large, corrugated, or un-

Turnip, Garden (. Brassica rapa). 
Sow at intervals from the end of March to the end of July. The earlier crops should be sown on ground that has been dug over ami 
manured the previous autumn. When the plants are well up, thin out to about 7 inches apart. As turnips are fond of phosphates, it 
would be well to apply Clibrans’ Phosphate Manure at the rate of 1 oz. to the running yard, and well-raked in about a fortnight before 
the seed is sown. In land where the turnip is liable to become clubbed, a dressing of quicklime, at the rate of 2 lbs. to the square 
yard, should be applied in as fresh a state as possible during the winter.
