TOBACCO 
Culture. The seed is sown from February to April in open beds. Ground must be clean, 
very finely pulverized, raked fine and smooth. It is customary to burn over the top of the 
bed by piling brush or litter to destroy weed seeds and add fertility for the young plants. 
After sowing, beds are protected with thin cotton cloth similar to cheese-cloth to protect 
them from Tobacco flies. About June 1st the plants are set in rich or highly fertilized 
ground in rows 4 feet apart each way. An ounce sows abont 
50 square yards, sufficient to set 2 or 3 acres.

325 JUBY’S FRIBE TYFE WHITE BUREEY. This variety has won great

stand-up Burley. The leaf is broad, long and tapering, with prominent white ribs

teristic of an excellent Burley and should produce a bright leaf of high quality.

TURNIPS 
One of the easiest crops to grow and profitable for stock feeding and in most cases for markets. They cost so little to grow, make splendid nutritious 
feed and should be more generally used. 
Culture. For early use, sow in March or April, either broadcast, or in drills, using preferably Milan or Purple Top Strap Leaf or Globe. 
Turnips for main crop are sown from July to September 16th, broadcast 1^4 to 2 lbs. per acre. An ounce will sow about 300 feet. Turnips for 
greens can be sown as late as October 1st, and require 3 to 4 lbs. per acre.

Rutabaga or Swedish Turnips 
Rutabagas require longer to mature than the common turnips and 
should be sown earlier. To get heavy crops of large turnips sow the seed 
June 16 to July 1 in rows 2 to 2% feet apart. Thin the plants to a foot 
apart. Rutabagas make excellent winter feed for sheep. For table use. 
Rutabagas can be sown later and will be of better quality, but not as 
large as when sown early. These turnips keep well and may be stored 
in the cellar in moist sand or in pits for use during the winter. 
365 AMERICAN FURFEE TOF. Our stock of this is extra choice 
and can be depended on by the most critical growers. Rutabaga be¬ 
sides being best food for stock, is the sweetest of all Turnips for table 
use. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; H lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c.
