TURNIP 
CULTURE—The successful cultivation of Turnips and Ruta 
Bagas requires that, the land be thoroughly prepared, enriched 
and put in the best condition, covering the seed about 54 inch.

October. If drilled one ounce sows about 100 feet of row, 154 
lbs. to the acre. Rows should be 2 feet apart and plants thinned 
to 6 or 8 inches. When seeded broadcast 1J4 to 2 pounds to 
the acre are required. The salad varieties can be sown during 
August and September broadcast from 3 to 4 pounds to the 
acre. 
Ruta Bagas should be sown from June to September. These 
thrive best if seeded in drills and cultivated, when about V /2 
pounds are required to sow an acre. Sow in rows about 2 
feet apart and thin the plants from 6 to 8 inches. Ruta Bagas 
are also frequently seeded broadcast, when about 2 pounds to 
the acre are required. 
IMPROVED RED TOP WHITE GLOBE—This is probably

size. The flesh is sweet, but is inclined to be coarse of 
grain at maturity. It is largely used for winter salad. Pkt. 
5c; 54 lb. 15c; lb. 40c, postpaid.

and sweet, is also a good variety for stock feeding and keeps 
well for winter use. Pkt. 5c; 54 lb. 15c; lb. 40c, postpaid.
