Buist’s Improved Purple Top Yellow Rutabaga 
1 Oz. per 100 Ft.; 2 Lbs. per Acre 
Culture—Rutabagas require a longer grow 
ing season to mature. They have firmer fles 
than turnips and when stored will keep later 
into the Spring. Never sow the seed broad- 
cast. It should be sown in drills on raised 
ridges which should be slightly leveled off 
with the back of a harrow and lightly rolled 
after seeding. To produce large roots plant 
the seed the latter part of June until the mid- 
dle of July 14 in. deep in rows 2 ft. apart and 
thin out to 6 ins. apart in the row. As the 
plants grow, ridge up to allow the roots to 
form. After a touch of frost, pull, top and 
store in a pit or cool cellar for Winter use.
