 tliiMii of two coliirs— red and yellow. They are immense

TURNIP. 

 Early Bloomsdale Red Top. Oz. He; lb. 00c. 



One of tile li.'sl for the tirsl turnii) in the market. 



White Egg. Oz. 5c; lb. .">0c. 



Very showy and handsome, as well as quite early. Last 

 .season they sold readily for a dollar a bushel in our market 

 as fast as we could get hold of them. 



Yellow Aberdeen. Oz. 5c; lb. 50c. 



We consider this the hest table turnip frrown. When cock- 

 ed it is so yellow that it will sometimes be mistaken for 

 squash. 



Purple-top White-globe Turnip. Oz. 5 c; 



lb. .50 c. 

 This turnip, during- the past extremely ditfii-ult season to 

 raise any kind of turnip, gave us the best "results of any thing 

 we tried; and although the crop was not vei y large, the quali- 

 ty seems to be unusually line for table u>e. es)ieciaUy when 

 tney are abiiut as large as fair-sized apiib-s. We have been 

 selling them all the fall for a dollar a bushel; and to day. Dec. 

 2f*, we are just closing out our last bushel of them, and we 

 could sell a good many nioi-e :it the above price if we had 

 them. They pi-obably grow as quic-k as any turnip kntiwu. and 

 are very h;iiiil^^(.iiie. Wlu-n washed they are almost :is white as 

 an egg, witli a beautiful purple ariuind the top. They are 

 .smooth and round

 12c. The honey-market is very dull; too high 

 prices, and large lots are being offered. To increase 

 the demand we shall be compelled to lower prices.

CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— HoHe?y.— For the past few weeks the 

 demand for honey has slackened off' to some extent, 

 as it generally does at this time of the year. In or- 

 der to make sales now, we are obliged to shade 

 prices slightly. About the middle of January we 

 expect the demand to be more active again, at firm- 

 er prices. F. G. Strohmeyek & Co.,

 mand is good for beeswax, which brings 20@22c for 

 good to choice yellow on arrival.
