Late Summer and Early Fall IsTurnip-Planting Time 
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 doesn’t get the results he 
is due to have from his plantings. Why? Simply because he is 
careless and thinks it’s hardly worth while being particular enough 
to send 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 
Hastings* Early Red or Purple Top Turnip 
want right results In either honie 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 buy¬ 
ing it you are the chance-taker. 
It’s not necessary to take chances. When you have seed from 
Hastings’ you are sure and that feeling of sureness before plant¬ 
ing 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. Larger ones will come later.
