the yellow-orange tomatoes, and now in Sunray we are offering a variety that is superior

wilt and has a particularly delicious flavor, superior even to Golden Jubilee, which it 
replaces. It ripens in season with Rutgers and produces large yields of fine smooth fruit, 
very firm and solid. The rich golden-orange flesh is most attractive and wonderful to eat.

TURNIP 
Turnips can be grown in early spring but are much better in the fall. In this section, plant late in 
July. They do best on rather light, moist soil of high fertility. Sow in rows 12 to 15 in. apart and thin 
to stand 3 or 4 in. in row; or just broadcast, sowing thinly. For protection against the tiny black flea 
beetles that eat holes in the new leaves, dust regularly from the start with 5% DDT or Rotenone 
(See page 82).
