TURNIP 
Plant 2 to 3 pounds per acre. 
We list only the varieties that are best suited to Florida 
growing conditions. All our turnip seed is grown from spe- 
cial hand-selected and transplanted roots. 
Cutture. Plant in rows 1% feet apart. Thin early to % 
or 1 in., because any overcrowding 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 and should be 
planted in rows 2 to 8 feet apart and thinned to 5 or 6 inches. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.

KILGORE’S TOKYO MARKET. (85 days.) This variety is 
extremely early in maturing, producing very beautiful, at- 
tractive, white, globe-shaped roots, with a very fine tap root. 
Foliage grows upright, is louse resistant, but not as luxuri- 
ant 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 exceedingly 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.
