TOMATO—(Continued) 
RUTGERS (See Photo Page 53) ; 
Fruits smooth, bright scarlet, globe-shaped, firm with small seed cavity’ 
Ripens from the center so that fruits are colored throughout when ready to 
pick. We consider this the best second early maturing variety for canning and 
tomato juice.

STOKESDALE 
Medium early, fruits bright scarlet throughout, medium size, deep globe, 
smooth, solid flesh, very free from cracking. Vines are strong and prolific.

for growing on trellises and stakes. 
TURNIP 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row, an ounce 150 feet, 2 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. For summer use, sow early in the spring in rows 1% to 2 feet apart. Plant seed 
about 1% inch deep and press the soil down firmly and smoothly. When the plants appear, apply 
tobacco dust liberally to prevent injury by flea beetles and root maggots. When the plants are 
an inch tall, thinning should be started and carried on as recommended for beets. For fall and 
winter use the seed may be planted as late as August.
