Rutabaga 
Rutabagas should be sown in drills about 
2% feet apart, and when 3 inches high thinned 
out to get the greatest root-development. 
They need to be cultivated liberally and hilled 
up when about 6 inches high. 
Customers frequently complain that Ruta- 
bagas grow too long, rather than in a round 
form. In -the locality of Philadelphia and 
New York, the seed should be sown from 
July 15 to August 1. Seed sown earlier than 
this invariably produces long roots with long 
stems. 
American Purple-Top Yellow. 90 days. (Special 
Strain.) At least 8 to 10 days earlier than 
our usual strain. Roots are mostly round, 
with a small tap-root, yellow, with purple 
crown; flesh amber-colored, sweet and free 
from fiber; tops medium size and of a 
smoky green color. Seed can be sown much 
later than other strains and yet mature be- 
fore freezing weather. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c;

SPECIAL NOTICE 
We regret that it is not practicable to 
ship Pot-grown Plants of Pepper, Parsley, 
Eggplants and Tomatoes via Parcel Post. 
The foliage of these plants is very soft 
and tender and we have found, from ex- 
perience (largely because of delays in the 
mail service), that they reach their desti- 
nation in a worthless condition. 
Nor can we ship any of the above-men- 
tioned plants outside the beetle zone. 

SEEDS OF CULINARY and MEDICINAL HERBS 
There is an increasing interest in Herbs to- 
day, and Herb-gardeners are becoming quite 
popular. The majority of them are very easy 
to grow and therefore should be grown more 
extensively than they are. 
For winter use, they should be cut just as 
they come into flower, tied in bunches, and 
hung in a light, airy place indoors, where they 
can be available any time.
