For Extremely Early, Rapidly Maturing Turnips Use Kilgore*s Tokyo Market and Early Florida 
TURNIP 
Plant 2 to 3 pounds per acre. 
We list only the varieties that are best suited to Florida and 
Southern growing conditions. All our turnip seed is grown from 
special hand-selected and transplanted roots. 
Culture. Plant in rows IV 2 feet apart. Thin early, because 
any over-crowding will result in misshapen, slow-growing, poor 
quality roots. For best quality, turnips should be grown rapidly 
in rich, moist soil. Turnips can be planted every month in the 
year in Florida. Rutabagas are best grown as a late fall and 
winter crop. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.

KILGORE’S TOKYO MARKET. (35 days.) This variety 
is extremely early in maturing, producing very beautiful, attrac¬ 
tive, white, globe-shaped roots, with a very fine tap root. Foliage 
grows upright, is louse resistant, but not as luxuriant and heavy 
as Japanese Foliage turnip. Where a very early, uniform, pure 
white, globe-shaped turnip is desired, Tokyo Market is the very 
best variety to plant. Our special stock of this variety is exceed¬ 
ingly uniform, all the roots being of similar shape and maturing 
about the same time, which makes it an ideal variety to grow 
for market. The roots are of exceptionally fine quality, and of 
exceedingly attractive market appearance.

garden and local market variety.

JAPANESE FOLIAGE TURNIP. (Shogoin or Louse- 
resistant.) (50 days.) A louse-resistant foliage turnip from 
Japan, which we are offering because of extremely promising 
results we have secured with it in our Proving Grounds. This 
turnip resists the hot, scorching sun, dry weather, and lice. It

always in good demand during late spring and summer in the 
South. The roots are white, semi-globe shaped, but more largely 
planted for the tops which are extremely large, thick, very suc¬ 
culent, tender, and of finest mild flavor for greens.
