Turnips 
Culture —Spring sowing should be put in early, so that they will attain a good 
size before hot weather. For the regular crop, sow the early sorts in July or 
August, the later sorts during August, and the salad varieites during August 
and September. Sow either broadcast or in drills 2 feet apart, thinning out to G 
inches and roll the ground after sowing. Cover the seed about V 2 inch. Sow 1 
pound to acre in drills, 2 pounds broadcast. 
SHOGOIN or JAPANESE LOUSE RESISTANT TURNIP. A new variety that is be¬ 
coming very popular in the South. Especially valuable for turnip greens, which 
are always in good demand during the late spring and summer months in the 
South. The leaves grow upright, about 2 feet high when fully developed, which 
make it practically free from insect attacks. The roots are pure white, between 
flat and globe in shape; however, this wonderful new sort is more largely planted 
for the tops than the roots. Postpaid, oz., 5c; *4 lb., 15c; y z lb., 25c; i lb., 35c.
