“I have been gar¬ 
dening for the past 
fifty years, bat have 
never grown Toma¬ 
toes that could com¬ 
pare with Bison. I 
bought my seed of 
you last spring. The 
plants are ideal for 
the home garden as 
they do not grow 
large and can be set 
close together. They 
bear heavily and the 
Tomatoes are just the 
right size.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR TURNIPS AND RUTABAGAS 
One ounce will sow 125 feet of drill, two pounds per acre in drills, three pounds broadcast. 
Turnips and Rutabagas do best in highly enriched, light loam soil. In rich soil and 
cool weather, they grow rapidly, without becoming bitter in flavor. Sow in April, in drills 
12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out to stand 8 inches apart in the row. Rutabagas keep 
much longer than Turnips, otherwise there is but little difference in flavor.
