RUTABAGAS 
1 oz. to 150 feet of row; 1 lb. per acre. 
Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature 
than ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of 
firmer flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. 
NEW CANADIAN—(90-100 days, 5 in. dia.) Our strain 
of this excellent variety has become a favorite because 
of its hardy and productive nature. The flesh is sweet 
and solid, excellent for table use or stock feeding. 
SPECIAL MARKET GARDENERS—(90-100 days, 5 
in. dia.) Grown for a number of years in the North and 
held very closely by private individuals, the seed of this 
variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in 
a true and reliable type and most profitable. After 
years of searching and checking in our trial grounds, we 
have found the correct strain and offer it with every 
assurance that it is the best Rutabaga to grow in this 
section. 
1 oz. to 150 feet of row; 1 lb. per acre. 
Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips 
thrive best when planted in early spring or in the fall. 
For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while for 
fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July 
to August. Sow in rows not less than 18 inches apart 
and one-half to three-quarters of an inch deep. A very 
popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed be- 
tween rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard. 
AUTUMN KING—(75 days, 414 in. to 6 in. dia.) A high 
quality stock feed variety, also very popular with Mar- 
ket Gardeners because of its excellent table quality 
when young. Roots smooth, globular, clear yellow with 
bronzy green tinged top, flesh pale yellowship white, 
fine grained, sweet and tender. 
DOUBLE DUTY—(30-40 days) Roots approximately 3 
x 2 in. tops 18 in. tall, strap-leaved fast growing heavily 
Turnip—Autumn King 
set, practically aphid resistant and of excellent quality. 
Grown chiefly for its abundance of tops, surpassing 
Seven Top in production and quality. Also forms a 
pure white semi-globe root, which is sweet and tender. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE—Smith’s strain. (55-60 
days, 3 in. to 6 in. dia.) This excellent turnip is de- 
cidedly the most popular variety and more extensively 
grown than any other. The roots are globular, very 
handsome and of superior quality; either for table use or 
stock feeding purposes. It is a heavy producer, early, 
or rapid growth, and one of the best for winter storage. 
GOLDEN BALL—(60-65 days, 3% in. dia.) One of the 
best yellow varieties for general crop; flesh firm and 
sweet; splendid for table or stock. 
SEVEN TOP—This variety planted exclusively for the 
green tops which are produced very abundantly. They 
are excellent for table use and for stock grazing.
