RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES
Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than
ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of firmer
flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for
this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are
better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either
in drills or broadcast.

vate individuals, the seed of this variety has always been
extremely diflBcult to procure in a true and reliable type.
After three years of searching and checking in our trial
grounds, we have found the correct strain and offer it with
every assurance that it will soon become the only Rutabaga
grown in this section.

TURNIPS

1 oz. to 150 feet of drill; 1 lb. per acre.
Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted
in early spring or in the fall. For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while
for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to August. Sow in
rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch
deep. A very popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows
of com or in the cultivated orchard. Proper control of root maggots
is effected by rotation of crops, the use of commercial fertilizers in-
stead of manure and the application of Mag-o-tite or other carbolic
acid emulsion.
