RUTABAGA 
CULTURE — Rutabagas require a longer 
growing season than turnips. Seed may be 
sown at the same time you plant turnips, in 
rows 2% to 3 feet apart. Culture is practi¬ 
cally the same as for turnips except the 
plants should be thinned to 8 to 10 inches 
apart in the row. One ounce will sow 400 
feet of row; 1 to 2 pounds per acre.

LAND — 88 days — One of the best and

AUXILIN 
. MIRACLE ROOT GROWER FOR CUTTINGS — 
Many reasons for failure of rooting in the plants 
have been suggested. The discovery of AUXILIN 
now indicates that cuttings often fail to grow^ roots, 
either because this growth-stimulating chemical is 
not present or is trapped, and therefore unavail¬ 
able to the cutting, or is present in less than effect¬ 
ive quantities. 
^ AUXILIN promotes vigorous and rapid growth of 
the plant itself, and if the cuttings are taken from 
woody plants, they usually produce stronger and more 
uniform specimens. For example, in the case of evergreen, 
growth will follow the first year after the cuttings have rooted. Cut¬ 
tings with flower buds on them will usually flower the same season. 
AUXILIN treated cuttings mature sooner and flovrer earlier than 
plants grown from seed. A shrub rooted from cuttings, AUXILIN 
treated, will in the first year of growth represent a saving of sevCTal 
years growing time over a shrub grown from seed. Lilacs, if AUXI¬ 
LIN treated, can be rooted in July. In fact, most plant species can be 
rooted at any time during the year, regardless of their normal grow¬ 
ing season, if given protection from adverse weather. Under the pre¬ 
vailing method of propagation, cuttings are usually rooted in those 
periods w'hen the plants ordinarily make new growth.

AUXAN 
AUXAN is a powder in which is incorporat¬ 
ed a substance having a greatly stimulating ef¬ 
fect on the rooting of cuttings or “slips” from 
the many types of plant-life which can be pro¬ 
pagated in this way. AUXAN is prepared by a 
special process which insures uniformity of 
mixture and causes the active growth-substance 
to be readily available to the cutting. The form¬ 
ula used is one developed by extensive research 
and practical tests, and found to stimulate suc¬ 
cessfully, the rooting of a wide variety of plants 
and shrubs.

PROTECT YOUR GARDEN AGAINST 
RAIN, WIND, 
BUGS, FROST 
with 
Hotkaps 
HOTKAPS are waxed paper cones, easily set out in quantity over 
seed or growing plants. They guard against rain, frost, cold, wind, 
hail, birds and insects, and maintain perfect mulch. Growth 
is forced and yield is increased 10 to 25%. Crops mature 2 to 3 
weeks earlier and bring premium prices.

RAISE BETTER CHICKS AND PLANTS 
It doesn’t pay to turn your chick out in the spring rains, slush and 
snow to catch cold and die. Science has proved you cannot raise them 
successfully under glass. Put them in a brooder house with large 
FLEX-O-GLASS or VITAPANE windows that will admit plenty of 
unskimmed sunlight. Every chick will stay healthy, free from rickets 
(weak legs) and other diseases. Their fast, strong growth will be 
amazing. Also keep your hens in this coop next winter and gather 
eggs while they are high. 
Hotbeds raise strong plants for transplanting. Frames are light, 
easily handled and hold heat better than glass.

VITAPANE 
THE NEW SCIENTIFIC AND MODERN GLASS SUBSTITUTE 
When cutting stems are dusted with AUXAN, a supply of growth- 
substance is made available to each individual cutting. Through the 
medium of the moisture in the rooting bed, the cutting slowly ab¬ 
sorbs the active material from the powder, and the natural ability 
of the cutting to form roots is greatly stimulated. Quicker rooting 
and larger, and more vigorous root systems are the result.

Vitapanc is made from transparent cellulose acetate, reinforced 
with a tough netting fabric. The cellulose has already proved itself 
to be an ideal transparent material in a multitude of uses and under 
the most trying conditions. Because it has no foreign coatings or 
impregnations to wear off or become soiled, Vitapane always stays 
clear, clean, and new in appearance. Your Vitapane installations 
will not only be practical, durable and modern, but also attractive.
