An English garden variety; round in shape; firm, of quick growth, medium size; very desirable. Improved Purple Top Yellow Ruta Baga. The best variety of Swedish Turnip in cultivation; hardy and productive; flesh yellow, of solid tex- ture; sweet and well flavored; shape slightly ob- long, terminating abruptly, with no side or bot- tom roots; color, deep purple above, and bright yel- low under the ground; leaves small, light green, with little or no neck, the most perfect in form, the richest in flavor, and the best in every respect. Laing's Improved. One of the large sorts; pro- ductive and good size, sweet, firm, very hardy; ex- cellent for table or stock feeding. Sweet German. This variety is very popular in many sections. It partakes largely of the nature of the Euta Baga, and should be sown a month earlier than the flat turnips. The flesh is white, hard, firm and sweet, and it keeps nearly as well as the Ruta Baga. Highly recommended for win- ter and spring use. Tomatoes. One ounce for 1,500 plants; £ lb. (to transplant) for an acre. This vegatable is now one of the most important of garden and market products. The seed may be sown in a hot-bed, greenhouse, or where a temperature of not less than 60 degrees is kept. When the plants are about two inches high they should beset out in boxes three inches deep. When safe from frost, plants may be set in the open ground. They are planted for early crops on light, sandy soil, at a distance of 4 feet apart, in bills. Water freely at the time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Tomato
