TOMATO, CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL. 
TOBACCO 
Tabaco Tabak Tabac 
The seed may be started in hotbeds or sown 
in the open as soon as the ground is warm, in 
rich, dry soil; rake off the bed and sow broad¬ 
cast, pressing down firmly and evenly, covering 
the seed very slightly; keep free from weeds 
and water frequently if the weather is dry; set 
out when all chance of frost is past, 2 feet 
apart, in land that has been heavily manured 
with wood ashes, if obtainable; brush burned 
on the ground will answer the purpose. One 
ounce will sow 25 square feet and produce 
plants for one acre. 
Havana. Bearing a fine-colored leaf, varying 
from straw-color to dark brown or black; it 
surpasses all other varieties in flavor for 
cigars; heavy cropper, fine texture, and the 
earliest variety to mature and ripen.

TURNIPS 
Nabo Reube Navet 
For early crops sow the Early White Flat 
Dutch or Munich during the winter; and for 
summer crops sow any of the other varieties at 
intervals of a fortnight until June, in drills 12 
inches apart; cover the seed lightly unless the 
season be very dry; thin o.ut the plants to 6 
or 8 inches apart. For fall or winter use, sow 
the Golden Ball or Purple-Top Strap-Leaf. Suc¬ 
cess in raising Turnips depends greatly on the 
selection of soil, and its subsequent prepara¬ 
tion, as well as the quality of the seed.
