Late Summer and Early Fall Is Turnip Planting Time 
HASTINGS' TURNIP SEED IS RIGHT—ORDER NOW 
The South as a whole plants a great deal of rutabaga and 
turnip seed every fall. This is right. It is an important and 
useful crop. But—the average man who plants turnips don’t 
get the results he is due to have from his plantings. Why? 
Simply because he is careless and thinks it hardly worth while 
being particular and sending off to some reliable house for 
rutabaga and turnip seed. 
Next time he goes to town he drops in at supply merchant's 
or drug store and gets some of the cheap stock that is on sale 
and usually more or less of a failure is the result. 
Friends, the turnip is a mighty common vegetable, yet if you 
want right results in either home or market crops of them it 
will well repay you to take just as much care about turnip seed 
as any other kind of seed. 
The turnip, rutabaga and other kinds of seed for fall sowing 
at merchant’s or druggist’s may be all right or it may not. In 
buying it you are the chance-taker. 
It’s not necessary to take chances. When you have seed from 
Hastings’ you feel sure and that feeling of sureness before 
planting is well worth the trouble of sending, even if you only 
want a dime’s worth. Further, your small orders are just as 
welcome at Hastings’ as larger ones.
