TOMATOES UNDER GLASS 
Sow in flats, transplant into 2%’e when the plants are 
about 4 inches high, set them 15 inches each way, keep well 
watered and growing fast till they get to blooming. While 
in bloom water sparingly until the tomatoes set. When you 
get five clusters on the plants top them and water plenti¬ 
fully. Be careful in watering. Marglobe will not mildew 
even if the walks in the greenhouse are wet, but to be suc¬ 
cessful with most other sorts, Marvelous Globe and Cracker- 
jack included, you must grow them in a house with glass 
tight so there will be no drip and your walks must be dry. 
Some growers keep their tomatoes wet from start to finish 
which is a mistake. Watering, as we say, will result in a 
splendid crop. Crackerjack and Ideal Forcing runs about 
five fruits to two pounds. For the earliest sales, while prices 
are highest, grow small fruited sorts like Crackerjack or 
Ideal Globe, for a later crop Marglobe or Marvelous Globe 
pay better. 
HOW TO GROW TOMATOES ON STAKES 
Early in July place 5 foot stakes within two inches of 
the base of each plaint. With a sharp blade reduce each 
plant to three of the strongest branches and tie these to the 
stakes, using soft but stout string. Remove all side shoots 
at the base of each plant and all suckers which develop at 
the leaf joints. When the plants reach the top of the stakes 
begin to prime out the centers also. Staked tomatoes yield 
30 to 40% more of perfect fruit than plants that spread over 
the ground and the plants bear earlier. 
A Hew Jersey customer says; Send me 10 lbs. of Ruta¬ 
baga Superba seed. I grew the finest roots last year from 
your seed that I ever raised. 
TURNIPS AND RUTABAGA 
CULTURE—One-half ounce for 100 feet of row, one and 
a quarter pounds per acre. If sown broadcast use two pounds 
to the acre. 
For best results and highest prices sow as soon as the 
ground is open. Drill into rows foot apart and thin to 4 
inches apart in rows. Frequent cultivation warms up the 
ground and hastens the crop to maturity. For general crop 
turnips can be sown at any time until the latter part of 
August- 
RUTABAGA should be planted 18 inches between the 
rows and thinned out to 6 inches in the row. Requires long¬ 
er season to mature than is the case with common tur nips. 
The most desirable early turnip to grow is SNOWBALL. 
It is large and of the highest quality. The best late Turnip 
is PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE.
