. How to make the garden pay [microform]. Gardening. in the latitude of Philadelphia will give a crop even if sown as late as the middle or end of August, the rutabagas must go into the ground 4 or 6 weeks earlier. The drills should not be less 1 s 4 Cultural Directions.—263 than 18 inches apart, and the plants be thinned to 6 or 8 inches. The same cultivation and attention to weeds is required as for other crops of similar character. Gather before settled cold weather; trim off" the tops, and ship in barrels, or store as directed for other root crops. VARIETIES—FLAT EARLY SORTS. Extra Early Milan.—Earliest of all, and just the variety for early bunching. In general appearance like Red-Top Strap- Leaf, only smaller and earlier. Extra Early Munich resembles this very closely, perhaps a few days later and less reliable than the Extra Early Milan. Red-Top Strap-Leaf.—The old reliable fall turnip, flat, white with red or purplish top. Red- Top ^Vhite Globe is introduced as a round, consequently more pro- ductive sort of this type. Early Flat Dutch.—A fine white garden turnip, resembling Red-Top in shape. ^Vhite Egg.—Of egg shape and quite handsome and productive. Large ^Vhite Norfolk.—Valu- able for stock. Among other sorts worthy of planting, we have Cow Horn, Large Yellow Globe, Yellow Aberdeen, Jersey Lily, White Rock. VARIETIES OF RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES. Improved Purple Top Swede—Of fine quality, prolific, reliable. Maule's Heavy Cropping.—An extra good sort. Sutton's Champion.—Very productive. White Rock. Hardy Imperial.
