TOMATOES—Continued

Turnips can be grown in early spring but are much better when planted late in the 
summer for fall crop. In this section, the latter part of July is about right. They do best on 
rather light, moist soil and are of superior quality when they grow rapidly on rich land. Sow 
in rows 12 to 15 in. apart and thin to stand 3 or 4 in. in the row; or just broadcast the seed, 
sowing thinly. Small black flea beetles are very apt to eat holes in the new leaves of turnips 
as they come up and grow. For protection, dust regularly with 3% DDT, Rotenone or 
Tobacco Dust. (See page 83.) 
920 PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. Special Strain. This is by far the most 
popular turnip for all purposes, because 
of its handsome shape, fine quality and attractive appearance. Our strain produces good 
sized, globe-shaped turnips, each one as smooth and round as the next, with a pure white 
color below the soil line and deep purple above. The flesh is white, crisp and of mild 
pleasant flavor. Excellent for table use and the best variety to grow for market and winter 
storage. Suitable for freezing.

906 GOLDEN BALL. The Best Yellow Turnip. If you prefer yellow-fleshed turnips, this 
is the kind to grow. It is early and of the best quality with fine-grained yellow flesh and 
smooth golden yellow skin. The roots are as round as a ball, very smooth and attractive. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 144 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.00. 
928 SHOGOIN. Best Variety for ‘‘greens.’’ This turnip is grown mostly for “‘greens”’ 
and is much superior to the old “Seven Top.” The tops grow rapidly and in great abun- 
dance; the foliage is nearly twice that of ordinary turnips and is of mild pleasant flavor 
when cooked. The turnips are flattened, pure white and of fine quality.

BUILD UP YOUR SOIL THIS EASY WAY Macomber 
Growers interested in soil conservation are getting results from 
Domestic Rye Grass that far outweigh its small cost. Its quick- 
growing, matted root system and thick grass form a perfect sod 
to prevent erosion and leaching during the winter, and when 
plowed under in the spring it will add much valuable humus. 
Sow about 15 lbs. per acre right on your cabbage, corn, squash 
etc., or just following early crops any time in the summer or early 
fall. On home gardens use 1 lb. per 1000 square feet. 
1 Lb. 35e; 2 Lbs. 65c: 5 Lbs. $1.25; 10 Lbs. $2.20 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 15c per Lb.
