CULTURE—For early spring use, sow seed in August, in very fertile soil rich in humus. Upon approach of cold weather, 
cover the plants with three inches of straw. In the spring, when dry, remove the litter and the plants will be ready for use in 
a short time. Sow the seed one inch deep in rows a foot apart. For a succession, sow again early in the spring and every 
two weeks thereafter. Keep the surface soil cultivated lightly. 
LONG STANDING—An improved strain of excellen merit, 
having all the good qualities of the ordinary sorts; what rend¬ 
ers it especially desirable is the fact that it is mpeh later in 
going to seed than any other variety. This valuable quality 
will be appreciated. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY—This variety most generally used 
in the east and especially throughout the South for shipping. 
Leaves large, round and thick, very much savoyed and rich 
deep green. One of the earliest varieties. Seed round. 
KING OF DENMARK—A new and very popular variety. 
About as early as any and remaining in good condition from a

leaves are thick, stand well after cutting, and of a good quality.

TURNIPS 
CLLTURE—Turnips do best in highly enriced light sandy ssoil ; commence sowing the earliest varieties in April in drills 
from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out early to six or nine inches in rows. For a succession sow at interavis of a fortnight 
until the last week in July, from which time until the end of August sowing may be made for the fall and main crop. One 
ounce will sow 150 feet of drill ; one and one-half pound to the acre. 
Early White Egg 
There is usually plenty of room in the garden during the fall months. Utilize this space by sowing 
Turnips. They are very easily stored and a nice supply of Turnips in the cellar or in the pit will help 
out mightily on the winter food bill. 
Turnips also make excellent stock feed for fall and winter use. They are much liked by all stock 
and the feeding of turnips or rutabagas keeps them in good condition. We earnestly recommend far¬ 
mers to sow turnips and rutabegas for this purpose. We know it is profitable. 
GOLDEN BALL—Undoubtedly among the most delicate and sweetest yellow-fleshed turnips yet 
introduced. Not of large size, but firm, hard and one of most excellent flavor. Keeps well, and i b
