Root. Crop «TURNIPS» Groon Crop 
Culture—For summer use, sow in early 
spring in light, rich or new soil in rows 
1 to 2 feet apart and cover one-half 
inch deep. May also be: sown broad- 
cast, but in either case be sure to 
have the ground rich and freshly stir- 
red. It is important to get spring and 
summer crops started early so that 
turnips may have time to grow to suf- 
ficient size before hot weather causes 
to become tough and bitter. For the 
fall or main crop, sow them from the 
middle of July to the middle of Novem- 
ber, same as for spring sowing. An 
ounce sows 100 feet; 2 to 4 pounds per 
acre in rows, or 6 to 8 pounds broad- 
cast. Control seed decay and seedling 
blight, and increase plant vigor and 
productiveness by treating seeds with 
Semesan befcre planting. 
Pest Control—Against Aphids, Cut 
Worms, and Cabbage Worms use 
NNOR Garden Spray, Acme Rotenone 
Garden Guard, or Acme Garden Dura- 
DusT.

SOIL TEST KITS 
The Good Earth—or is it? 
Simple Soil Test Kits, for Nitrogen, 
Phosphorus, Potash and Acidity with 
which everyone can make tests of soil 
and determine from them the fertility 
of any given plot of ground, then sup- 
ply the deficiencies in proper portions. 

Early Purple Top Strap Leaved—Table 
size in 45 days. A very early variety. 
Roots flat, about 4 inches in diameter ; 
purplish red at top and clear white 
flesh below. Fine grained and mild. 
Shogoin or Japanese—Also known as 
‘Louse Resistant.’’ Well liked for its 
smooth, globular roots. Especially val- 
uable for turnip greens, which may be 
cut in from 25 to 30 days. Growth up- 
right about 2 feet high when fully de- 
veloped. Due to rapid growth, it is 
practically free from insect attacks. 
Roots pure white, and from 5 to 8 
inches across at maturity. Excellent 
turnip for Texas because it seems not 
to be affected by either heat or drouth. 
Pomeranian White Globe—Full size 75 
days. Grown principally for stock feed 
but roots are good for table use. Tops 
large. Roots are globe-shaped, 4 to 7 
inches in diameter, and rather coarse 
in texture. Best for table use when 4 to 
5 inches long. 
Seven Top (For Turnip Greens)— 
Grown almost entirely for the tops, 
which are used for greens. Very hardy, 
standing severe cold; growth usually 
continues throughout the winter. Root 
woody and seldom used. This variety 
produces splendid stock feed, similar 
to rape. 
Yellow Flesh 
Amber Globe — Table size 60 days. 
Roots grow 5 to 6 inches in diameter ; 
ARCTIC PEAT MOSS 
Moisture, not heat, makes tropic 
growth lush— 
Peat Moss absorbs 12 to 15 times its 
own dry weight in water. 
Peat Moss on the lawn, in the flower 
bed, around the shrubs, holds the mois- 
ture supply in the soil. In summer the 
hot rays are unable to penetrate a 
layer of peat, roots do not dry out, 
weeds are checked, moisture is saved. 
In winter plants are mulched to pre- 
vent alternate thaws and freezes, for 
sudden changes of temperature dam- 
age roots seriously and often fatally. 
Tt’s wise to mulch with Peat Moss both 
summer and winter. 
One bale covers about 300 sq. ft., one 
inch deep. Shipping weight approxi- 
mate, since moisture varies, affecting 
weight. 
globular shape and the skin is clear, 
yellow, tinged with green at the top. 
Flesh yellowish white, fine grained, 
sweet and tender. Extensively grown 
for stock, as well as for table. 
RUTABAGAS 
A Tasty, Nutritious Table Vegetable. 
A Profitable Crop Grown for Livestock 
Feeding 
Culture—Rutabagas require a longer 
growing season than turnips. Seed may 
be sown at the same time you plant 
turnips, in rows 2% to 3 feet apart. 
Culture is practically the same as for 
turnips except the plants should be 
thinned to 8 to 10 inches apart. Con- 
trol seedling blight, and increase plant 
vigor and productiveness by treating 
seeds with Semesan before planting. 
Pest Control—See Turnips.

Turnips can be sown in the spring or in 
the late summer for fall use or for storing 
of the roots for winter use. Turnips are 
a Year ’Round vegetable. Frost improves 
the flavor of foliage turnips.
