Turnip 
One of the easiest crops to grow and profitable for 
stock feeding and in most cases for markets. 
They cost so little to grow, make splendid nutri¬ 
tious feed and should be more generally used. 
Culture —For early use, sow in March or April 
either broadcast, or in drills, using preferably Milan 
or Purple Top Strap Leaf or Globe. 
Rutabaga is sown in June or July, preferably in 
drills 2 feet apart, thinning out to 6 inches. 
Turnips for main crop are sown from July to Sep¬ 
tember 15th, broadcast iy 2 to 2 lbs. per acre. 
Turnips for greens can be sown as late as October 
1st, and require 3 to 4 lbs. per acre.

Purple Top 
Strap Leaf 
Turnip. 
Saved from crown shoots only and grown for us by 
practical growers. 
Culture—The seed is sown from February to April 
in open beds. Ground must be clean, very finely 
pulverized, raked fine and smooth. It is customary to 
burn over the top of the bed by piling brush or litter 
to destroy weed seeds and add fertility for the young 
plants. After sowing, beds are protected with thin cot¬ 
ton cloth similar to cheesecloth to protect them from 
Tobacco flies. About June 1st it is set in rich or high¬ 
ly fertilized ground in rows 214 to 3 ft. Cultivate 
often and destroy worms by applying paris green or 
arsenate of lead. 
One ounce sows 50 sq. yds., sufficient to set 2 or 3 
acres. Sheep manure will give most excellent results 
on this crop and should be applied in hills two to 
three hundred pounds per acre. 
359 JUDY’S PRIDE BURLEY. This variety has won 
great popularity in certain sections of Kentucky 
and Tennessee, and we think it a good stand-up 
Burley. The leaf is broad, long and tapering, with 
prominent white ribs. The stalk is strong and holds 
the leaves well up off the ground. It has every 
characteristic of an excellent Burley and should 
produce a bright leaf of high quality. 
Pkt., 5c; ^4 oz., 20c; oz., 50c. 
360 KELLY’S TYPE WHITE BURLEY. A heavy 
yielder of rich, bright leaf, large, long and broad. 
It is fast becoming the most popular type of Burley 
and is largely grown by planters in all Burley 
sections. 
Pkt., 5c; V4 oz., 20c; oz., 50o.
