4 Rutabaga 
One ounce will sow 125 feet of drill—2 
pounds per acre in drills; 3 pounds broadcast. 
CULTURE—Turnips and Rutabagas do best 
in highly enriched, light loam soil. In rich soil 
and cool weather, they grow rapidly, without 
becoming bitter in flavor. Sow in April, in 
drills 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out to 
stand 8 inches apart in the row. Rutabagas 
require a longer growing season than turnips 
and need more moisture. When full grown, 
they should be pulled, topped and stored ina 
cool cellar or pit. If cool and sufficiently 
moist to prevent withering, they will keep all 
winter.

Here Is One of the Many Letters We 
Received from Customers Who Grew 
Our New Faribo Hybrid Tomato 
FS. c&. Nz Co, Nov. 6, 1947 
Tried out your new Faribo Hybrid Tomatoes 
this year and was well satisfied. They ripened 
in 46 days from .planting time, and were still 
producing October 30th when the frost got 
them. Picked plenty of Tomatoes from them 
for 8 weeks. The size is not so big, but the 
flavor surpasses anything I have ever eaten. 
Want to put in an acre or more in 1948 so 
hold out a supply of seed for me—at least 2 
ounces.
