SWEDISH TURNIP A11 authorities are agreed that it 
is of the greatest importance that 
OR RUTA BAGA. the amount of dry matter, i,e. t 
food solids and sugar, in Mangels, 
Swedes, and Turnips, should be increased to the largest extent, 
If the maximum feeding quality is desired, and for several years 
lift tit the “ Carter” Method of Root Selection has been employed 
lor Increasing the amount of dry matter of our roots. 
tfttUt Carters Hoi born Elephant Swede.-rA heavy cropping 
purple-top, tankard-shaped Swede of the highest feeding value. 
H In now several years since we introduced this fine Purple-top 
Kwede, and it has, during that time, acquired a large popularity 
amongst agriculturists. The root grows well out of the ground. 
In always sound and solid, and the variety adapts itself to almost 
any soil.

lopped variety, growing to a large size, with a single tap-root

Purptedop has a fleshy top, the leaf-stems breaking almost 
Immediately above the crown of the bulb, which continues to 
grow mid increase in weight long after the “necky” Swedes 
bftve mildewed and ceased to improve.

1638 Carters Holborn Invicta. Swede.— Purplish-bronze 
variety. Carters Holborn Invicta Swede has become the* most 
popular Swede in cultivation. There is hardly a root competition 
or agricultural show at which fine specimens will not be found 
taking a high place in the awards. Not only in England but 
in all parts of the world where Swedes are grown, notably in 
Canada and New Zealand, it has become the variety in greatest 
demand. This extensive popularity and public favour are sure 
proofs of its outstanding merits, and it is steadily taking the 
place of older and inferior sorts.

SALAD PLANTS A r Everyone should en j oy the 
OALALi 1 pleasure of salad several 
days a week, at all events during the summer season, with but 
trifling expense. It is a wholesome addition to more substantial 
diet, rendering it grateful to the palate, and it is a pity that it 
is so rarely brought to table in an average household. We will 
enumerate a few of the almost unknown salad plants, with some 
notes on their cultivation. 
1253 Cardoon. —This vegetable is grown for its edible midrib, and 
must be blanched in the same manner a*? Celery. The seed 
should be sown in the spring where the plants are to remain in 
driils 3 ft. apart, covering the seed about 1 in. When the plants 
make a showing thin out to 1 ft. apart. 
Celeriac, Carters Improved (or Turnip-rooted Celery ).— 
Seepage 14. 
1300 Chervil is used for seasoning soups and mixing in salads. It 
is grown from seed sown in spring and in summer for suc- 
cess/onal crops. The soil should be rich and light, and the bed 
4£ ft. wide, with an alley on each side. Sow seed in shallow 
drills across the bed, 9 in. apart, and rake over the surface. 
When the leaves have grown an inch or two, cut off for use as 
required.
