OLDS' TURNIPS AND RUTABAGAS 
Farmers should grow more rutabagas and turnips. Stock 
will thrive and gain rapidly when these are included in 
their feed. Turnips can be sown with oats and other grain 
and in that way they cost practically nothing. Enormous 
yields per acre may be obtained. Ask for Wisconsin Bul¬ 
letin No. 330, “Root Crops are Profitable.” 
CULTURE: For early turnips sow as soon as the ground 
can be worked in drills 14 inches apart, rutabagas 30 
inches apart. Thin the early varieties of turnips to 6 or 
9 inches in the row and rutabagas to about 12 inches. 
For a fall crop of turnips sow in July or August and for 
the main crop of rutabagas sow about June 15th. The 
roots should be harvested before a severe frost and stored 
in a cool cellar covered with dry soil. A packet will sow 
50 feet, one pound an acre in drills and 2 or 3 pounds 
an acre broadcast. If larger quantities are wanted see our 
Market Gardeners’ Price List, page 40.

“We like Olds’ seeds fine. Always have splendid success 
with them. 1 ’ — Mrs. Otto Nehlsen, Iowa. 
“I have had splendid results with dry-weather cauliflower 
for the late crop for a number of years. Sold enough each 
fall to pay for my garden seeds. I get nice big white heads 
when my neighbor’s cauliflower just won’t head.” — Mrs. Paul 
Krause, Wisconsin.
