Table Queen Squash 
TOBACCO 
Culture. The seed is sown from February to April in open 
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 Ist 
the plants are set in rich or highly fertilized ground in rows 4 feet 
apart each way. An ounce sows about 50 square yards, sufficient 
to set 2 or 3 acres,

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.

broadcast, or in drills, using preferably Milan or Purple Top 
Strap Leaf or Globe. 
Turnips for main crop are sown from July to September 
15th, broadcast 1144 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.

and 3 to 4 pounds per acre. 
Culture. Plant when the weather has become settled and the ground fairly warm. 
Bush varieties are planted 3x4 ft.; running varietes 6x8 ft; about 4 to 6 seeds per hill 
and thin out later leaving the strongest plants about 8 to the hill. Hills similar to those 
made for Cucumber with well-rotted manure or fertilizer are best. Winter varieties 
may be stored in a moderately warm dry place of even temperature.

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 15 to July lin 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 
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.
