TURNIP 
Plant 2 to 3 pounds per acre. 
In the garden plant 1 packet to 60 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
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. 
CuttureE. Plant in rows 15 to 20 inches apart. Thin early to 
1 inch, because any overcrowding will result in misshapen, 
slow-growing, poor quality roots. Final thinning should be 
to about two or three inches apart. Thinnings may be used 
for turnip greens. 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 
3 feet apart and thinned to 5 or 6 inches. 
The number of days after each variety is the time required 
to produce edible roots from seed plantings. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.

globe shaped, but more largely planted for the tops which are 
extremely Jarge, thick, succulent, tender, and of finest mild

AMERICAN IMPROVED. 

A typical root of Purple-Top White Globe Turnip 
PURPLE-TOP WHITE GLOBE. (50 days.) Roots are al- 
most perfect globe-shaped, and the flesh and skin are pure 
white, with a beautiful purple or red at the stem end above 
ground. Very fine-grained and sweet, of superior quality. Grown 
most extensively in Florida for shipment to northern markets.

KILGORE’S FLORIDA MARKET. (Formerly Tokyo Mar- 
ket.) (35 days.) This variety is extremely early in maturing, 
producing very beautiful, attractive, white, globe-shaped roots, 
with a very fine tap root. Foliage grows upright, is louse-re- 
sistant, but not as luxuriant and heavy as Foliage turnip. Where 
a very early, uniform, pure white, globe-shaped turnip is de- 
sired, Florida 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 exceeding- 
ly attractive market appearance. 
Sold out until Early Fall, 1943. 
RUTABAGA 
(90 days.) The very finest Pur- 
ple Top Rutabaga grown. The smooth roots attain a much 
larger size than turnips, are almost globular, being slightly 
oblong, pale yellow with a purple top, and with a very small 
neck. Flesh is yellow, solid, tender, not woody and stringy. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15e; %4 Ib. 40c; 1 Ib. $1.25
