Early White Milan Turnip 
VEGETABLE 
MARROW 
Occupies an important place in European gar- 
dens, and is considered superior by some to squash. 
Culttvation is similar to that of squash, although it 
is often grown in a few inches of soil placed on a 
manure-pile. The Marrows are gathered before 
they ripen. They are peeled, divided, and the seeds 
are removed; then cut into squares, boiled until 
tender, and served with cream sauce. 
One ounce plants 50 “‘hills,”’ and each “hill” should 
produce 4 to 6 Marrows. Ready in 8 weeks. Good 
source of vitamin A. 
Long Green Trailing. Fruits about 20 inches 
long and 3 to 4 inches in diameter, with 
dark green skin, with lighter markings. Pkt. 
15 cts., oz. 65 cts., 4b. $1.50. 
Long White Trailing. The white skin is 
smooth and the flesh is remarkably tender. 
Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 65 cts., 14Ib. $1.50.

TURNIP 
For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground 
opens in spring in rows 15 inches apart and 14 inch 
deep. Thin 3 inches from plant to plant. Sow again 
for winter use from June 15 to the middle of July. 
Turnips are an outstanding source of vitamins 
Bi and C. But serve turnip-tops (leaves) as spinach, 
boiled lightly, and you have a food of exceptional 
value: outstanding in vitamins A, C and G, also 
calcium; a good source of By, phosphorus and iron. 
One ounce will plant about 150 feet of drill from 
which 150 pounds or more of Turnips will be dug.
