TOMATOsMarglobe 
TOMATOES—Continued 
Stokesdale — An extremely important 
new development. Smooth, 7-oz. fruit, 
brilliant color, exceedingly solid flesh 
and small seed cavities. Matures in the 
second-early group, a full week earlier 
than the Marglobe group. Usually 
ahead of Bonny Best, too—and 2 
ounces heavier. 
Small Fruited 
Red and yellow varieties, shaped like 
miniature pears, plums, and cherries; 
very attractive for preserves. 
TURNIPS 
Sow in rows 1’ to 2’ apart or broadcast 
in rich, freshly stirred soil. Cover seeds 
with soil 14” deep. Turnips are easily 
grown in early spring, late summer 
and fall. 
White Fleshed 
Amber Globe—Chiefly grown for stock, 
but used for table when young. Tops 
large, cut leaved. Roots round, large, 
smooth, globe-shaped, light yellow with 
green top. Flesh, yellowish white, of 
good quality. 76 days. 
Long White Cowhorn—Long white va- 
riety used principally for stock food. 
Tender and sweet for table use when 
young. Tapered; 12-15 in. 65 days. 
Purple Top — All purpose variety. 
Large, sweet tops. Smooth, globe- 
shaped roots, purple-red above, white 
below. Sweet, tender, crisp, fine grained 
white flesh. 50 to 60 days. 
White Egg—Cut leaved, medium sized, 
upright tops. Egg shaped roots, all 
white. Smooth grained. 55 to 60 days. 
Foliage Turnip 
Seven Top — For greens or forage. 
Young shoots extremely tender. Roots 
tough, undesirable for food. 50 days. 
Shogoin or Japanese Foliage—Recent- 
ly introduced and rapidly gaining pop- 
ularity. 18 to 20-in. bright green tops, 
strap leaved. Roots are semi-round, 
and white. Very mild. 70 days. 
Rutabaga or Swede Turnip 
American Purpletop—Hardy and pro- 
ductive. Tender firm, light yellow, 
sweet flesh. 88 days. 
If you want to PLANT BY THE MOON 
There is quite a lot of discussion about the 
effect of the moon on various crops. While 
we make no attempt to take one side or 
the other on this question, we are giving 
all the necessary information in condensed 
Signs of the Zodiac 
1946—Moon Signs 
form. Naturally, we can’t vouch for the 
effectiveness of this method of planting. We 
are simply submitting the up-to-date charts, 
etc., for gardeners who observe the phases 
of the moon when planting.
