FALL IS TURNIP PLANTING TIME 
Turnips is the big fall garden crop throughout the 
wUI&Urv? whole South. They are hardy, make delicious greens 
or turnip salad and the roots make a tempting table food all 
through the winter months. 
Careful attention- should be given to seed for planting as in all 
vegetables. You want the best and most delicious varieties and 
good strong seeds. Take no chances with cheap inferior seeds. 
The very best, as you see below, are very reasonable in price and it 
will pay you always to send your orders to Hastings’. 
Hastings’ Early White Flat Dutch Turnip 
Turnips do best on new ground or ground that has not been cul- 
tivated for several years. If stable manure is used it should be ap- 
plied several months before the crop is planted as fresh manure 
makes spotted turnips, inferior in quality and with a rank flavor. 
For fall or winter use sow rutabagas July 15th to September 1st; 
turnips August 1st to October 15th in this latitude; farther South 
they can be planted later, and in Florida plantings can be con- 
tinued all through the winter. Sow 1 ounce of seed to 200 feet of 
row; 2 to 3 pounds per acre. Ready for use in 8 to 10 weeks.
