Turnip 
Planting Turnips in the spring 
II furnish a supply of nourishing 
“greens” when other sorts are 
usually exhausted. Turnips serve 
two purposes: they provide quickly 
grown, healthful tops for 
“greens,” and tender, deli¬ 
cious, edible roots. 
Culture. Sow in rows 
18 inches apart, covering 
seed Yi inch deep, pressing 
the soil down firmly and 
smoothly. Plants should be 
thinned to 4 to 6 inches apart. 
Also sown broadcast. For best 
quality, grow Turnips rapidly in 
new ground and cultivate fre¬ 
quently. One ounce will sow 200 
feet of row; 2 pounds an acre, or 
4 to 5 pounds broadcast.

TURNIP SEED PRICES. You should not be satis¬ 
fied with the ordinary stocks of Turnip seeds usually avail¬ 
able in the South. Check-tests conducted the past year of 
samples obtained from more than ten stores offering low- 
priced Turnip seed plainly indicate that price, and price 
alone, is the only consideration with many dealers in the 
South. Insist on the best seed. Reuter’s Turnips are 
celebrated for their high quality, purity, and germination. 
592 Japanese Shogoin. A new foli¬ 
age Turnip from Japan that has 
proved itself superior to most other 
varieties. It is the best combina¬ 
tion variety for both bulbous roots 
and tops for “greens” that we have 
yet seen. Furthermore, it is louse- 
resistant and it holds its heavy 
crop of leaves up off the ground. 
Resists heat, sun, dry weather, and 
insect attacks. Quickly produces 
an enormous yield of upright-grow¬ 
ing, succulent foliage, usually 2 feet 
tall, which is crisp, tender, and of 
superb mild flavor. The “greens” 
are ready for use in 25 days. Roots 
are large, pure white, semi-globular, 
and of a most excellent quality for 
table use. It’s the greatest dual- 
purpose Turnip ever introduced. 
Surely include it in your order. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 10c; V^Ib. 25c; lb. 75c; 
5 lbs. $3.50. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. 
$6.50; 25 lbs. $15.00. 
RUTABAGA 
Rutabagas require a longer growing season 
than turnips and need more moisture. Seed 
may be sown at the same time you plant 
turnips, in rows 2V£ to 3 feet apart. Culture 
is practically the same as for turnips, except 
the plants should be thinned to 8 to 10 inches 
apart in the row. Have soil well fertilized and 
cultivate frequently. One ounce will sow 
400 feet of row; 1 to 2 pounds per acre in 
drills; 3 to 4 pounds per acre broadcast. 
591 American Purple-Top. 88 
days. Our strain is noted for its heavy 
yielding quality. Produces large, smooth, 
globe-shaped roots with rich purplish 
coloring in the upper portion and yellow 
below. The flesh is rich yellow, fine-grained, 
and sweet. Best for table and stock-feeding. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vilb. 20c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs.
