Why Not Plant Seed of 
Some Spring Tnrnips? 
(^flT XTTTJT? Spring plantings of turnips are important, although 
the main or general crop for winter use is si'wn in h.te 
summer and fall. The seed sown in early spring germinate rapidlv and 
are ready for use very eariy. Spring grown turnips, being grown under 
more favorable conditions of temperature than the fall crop, are more 
tender, sweet and juicy than tho-e grow n in summer and fall. Sow thinly 
in drills in January, February and March, according to location, and 
cover the seed lightly. They make best on either new ground or ground 
that has not been cuitivated for several years. If stable manure is used, 
it should be applied several months before the crop is planted. 1 resh 
manure always make spotted turnips, inferior in quality and with a rank 
flavor. For fali and winter use sow Kutabaga from July 15th to September 
1st; turnips from August 1st to October 15th in this latitude: further South 
they can be planted later, and in Florida sowings can be continued all 
through the winter. 
Double Your Cotton and Corn in 1911 
Ea'^iest thing in the world to do it. Read pages 1 to 28 of this 
catalogue. Ifyou don't make a whole lot more cotton and corn on 
the same acreage in 1911 it’s your own fault and nobody else's. It 
pays to plant right seed. Hastings’ right seed is half the crop. 
147 BUSHELS CORN PER ACRE

prize with a yield of 147 bnshels and 6 pounds from one acre. Variety used was “Hastings’ Prolific.” 
This IS the corn that makes the big yields in every State.
