PURPLE TOP. 



Grown from carefullj- selected, transplanted, and weight}' roots, 

 whicli may be fully relied upon for puritjf of stock and fine quality. 

 This variety does not now need any description of its merits, as it has 

 been fully tested on all kinds of soil, and in every part of Ireland, 



against the leading' varieties, and with the most conclusive 



results; .md in tlie'-e times of agricultural (l,|irc-ssion it is necessary 

 that e\erv crop (more particularly the Turnip) should be a re- 

 munerative one. 'this you have in ROWAN'S BEST OF ALL SWEDE, 



combined with the best feeding properties. We have proved it by the 

 overwhelming testimony of hundreds of customers, and where a crop 

 can be increased by two to seven tons per acre, it must be an advantage 

 to the grower to provide himself with the means of attaining such 



IS. per lb.; post paid on 7 lbs.

AN EXPERTS OPINION. 



Herbert Park, 



Ballsbridge, 

 DUBLIN, 20th December, 1907. 



SHANKS'S LAWN MOWERS bore the brunt of the 

 prelimiiiar}- lieavy work here ; and in spite of the strain 

 imposed on them by large stretches of late laid greensward 

 and inevitable sprinkling- of debris in the way of nails, bits 

 of wire, &c. , remaining after hand picking, they came through 

 the ordeal unscathed, doing perfect work to the finish of 

 the season. 



I was particularly pleased with the High-Wheel "Talis= 

 man" and "Britisher," and think these Machines areas 

 near perfection as it is possible to have Lawn Mowers.
