TURNIP 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 2 to 3 Ibs. per acre

August. Set out in rows 1/2 feet apart, allowing 
a space of 6 inches between the plants.

variety for table use; of excellent flavor. 
Tops small, cut leaved. Roots globular, 
commonly 4 inches in diameter. Skin 
smooth, orange-yellow; flesh yellow, firm, 
fine grained and of good quality. Rapid 
grower. Table size in 60 days. 
Purple Top Strap Leaf. A medium early, 
very productive variety. Tops medium 
small, upright, strap-leaved. Roots flat 
purple red at the top, white below; flesh

2 GROPS FOR ONE SPACE 
Unless you raise vegetables for quantity, 
storage or freezing, limit planting of any 
type to family’s probable use in fresh form. 
Set perennial crops (Asparagus, Rhubarb, 
Artichoke, etc.) at one side of garden. They 
are permanent. Next to perennials set 
crops that occupy the ground through grow- 
ing season (tomatoes, squash, pole beans, 
late potatoes, etc.). This leaves remaining 
space for serial planting and rotation of 
crops. Before the Tomatoes, Squashes, etc., 
are set out, their space may be given to 
radishes, lettuce and other quick-growing 
early spring crops (Peas, early Potatoes, 
etc.) are harvested, clear the area and re- 
WATERMELON, STRIPED KLONDIKE 
WATERMELONS 
About same culture as muskmelon, except the 
vines need more room. Fertilize each hill lib- 
erally and cultivate thoroughly.

Purple Top White Globe. Grows quite 
large without developing coarseness. It 
has white skin, the upper one-third being 
reddish purple. Flesh pure white, firm, 
fine grained and of superior flavor. Good 
keeper. Fine for table use and stock 
feeding. Table size in 55 days, mature in 
70 days. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE TURNIP 
staking Tomatoes, Cucumbers, etc. Set aside 
a small space for sowing Lettuce and other 
seeds that can be transplanted to the main 
garden later. Shade-loving vegetables, such 
as Lettuce, can be planted on the shady side 
of tall-growing things. Sun-lovers should go 
upon the sunny side of tall plants. Heavy- 
fruited things, such as Squashes, can be al- 
low to sprawl on banks or run over fences— 
if support is placed under developing fruits. 
One or two plants of Zucchini or other types 
of Squash—or Pumpkin—are enough to meet 
average family needs. Tomatoes, Eggplant, 
etc., can, if desired, be grown staked in 
pots or tubs and shifted as desired during 
the season. Pole Beans are a space saver 
and fit well into the “vertical garden” plan.
