CULTURE—One ounce will sow 200 feet in drill; 2 to 3 pounds for an acre. 
For early use, sow seed of flat varieties in open ground in spring, in drills 1 foot 
or more apart, using seed sparingly. Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart. For succession 
sow every two weeks until May. For fall and winter, sow in August and until 
December. A good crop may often be grown by scattering seed thinly in the 
corn field and cotton field at the last cultivation.

408—JAPANESE SHOGOIN (Louse-Resistant)—A new foliage turnip 
from Japan that has proved itself superior to most other varieties. It 
is the best combination 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-growing, 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. See cut at bottom of page.
