TOMATOES, Continued PLANTING BY THE MOON. Many gardeners like to govern their plant- ing by the phases of the moon. For them, we show here all the necessary informa- tion generally shown by more voluminous arrangements. As seedsmen, we cannot vouch for the effectiveness of this method, but we are glad to provide this complete and up-to-date chart for those who want it. Signs of the Zodiac and Their Influence Rutgers—Second early variety. Large thick stems, vigorous foliage. Fruits similar to Marglobe but flatter at stem end. Bright red, with thick walls. Red, firm flesh, low acidity. 72 days. Stone Improved — Medium late. De- servedly popular with canners and market gardeners. Ripens evenly and is uniform. Fruits large, flattened, but deep. Smooth, attractive, scarlet-red, of fine flavor. 86 days. Stokesdale — An extremely important new development. Smooth, 7-oz. fruit, brilliant color, exceedingly solid flesh and small seed cavities. Matures in the second-early group, a full week earlier than the Marglobe group. Usually ahead of Bonny Best, too—and 2 ounces heavier. Small Fruited Red and yellow varieties, shaped like miniature pears, plums, and cherries; very attractive for preserves. TURNIP For summer greens or roots, sow as early as radishes and lettuce. Then cut when plants are 1" high. Sow again in summer for fall and winter use. Turnips do best when most of their growth is made in autumn or early spring. Should be grown rapidly for best flavor and texture. Golden Ball or Orange Jelly—Medium size, deep yellow with bronze-green top. Creamy yellow flesh of fine tex- ture. 65 days. Purple Top White Globe (fr)—All pur- pose variety. Large, sweet tops. Smooth, globe-shape
