SMALL FRUITING TOMATOES Rl2£X. 

 892 POMODORA, ITALIAN LARGE RED PLUM 



A beautiful bright red plum-shaped tomato. It is the most delicious and 

 attractive salad tomato ever introduced. It contains practically no acid 

 and possesses a delicate flavor so much desired in salads. Large Red Plum 

 is one of the best varieties in cultivation for making the delicious tomato 

 preserve, and it is also ideal for dehydrating. It is one of the most pro- 

 lific tomatoes we have ever grown, beginning early in the season and con- 

 tinuing uninterruptedly up to frost. The fruits are the size of a good-sized 

 plum and are borne in clusters of six or more. (See illustration.)

TURNIP 



CULTU RE. — Sow the early varieties in April or May in drills, from fifteen to eighteen inches apart, and thin out from four to six inches in the rows. For a succession 

 sow at intervals of a fortnight until the last week in May for early crop, and in July or August for the fall crop, at which season they grow best. One oz. to 150 feel of drill. 



WHITE FLESHED VARIETIES 



Two Valuable Turnips 

 919 EARLIEST FLAT JAPAN 



The earliest turnip in cultivation, maturing in about 37 days. 

 This delightful gem is destined to create a new interest in this 

 excellent vegetable. The beautiful smooth glistening appearance 

 of the small flattish snow white turnip and the mild delicate flavor 

 will make it a welcome addition to the daily diet. 



It is particularly recommended for an early spring crop, for it is 

 at this season most turnips are inclined to have a slightly bitter 

 flavor which is entirely missing in this sort. The foliage of most 

 turnips grows close to the ground and becomes an ideal breeding 

 place for aphis; not so this variety, it grows directly upright, conse- 

 quently it does not protect aphis and also permits thorough 

 spraying. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $1.75. 



937 TOKYO 



Like the foregoing, is also a new Japanese turnip; it varies, in that 

 the turnips are globular in shape, otherwise it is very similar with 

 the exception that it is three or four days later than the Earliest 

 Flat Japan. 



In many sections "turnip greens" is very popular. Tokyo is 

 especially recommended for this purpose, because the foliage grows 

 upright and is very resistant to the attacks of aphis or blight and 

 , produces a fine crop of foliage. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 75c; lb., $1.75. 



918 EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN 



Resembles White Milan, but has purple top. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 60c; lb., $1.25. 



920 EARLY RED TOP STRAP LEAVED 



. This is a quick-growing sort for the early spring crop. It grows 

 rapidly and in eight weeks from sowing will produce a good crop of 

 tender roots of mild flavor. The leaves are short, the roots quite 

 flat, the upper half reddish purple, the lower half white. The 

 flesh is pure white, crisp and fine grained. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 60c; lb., $1.25. 



922 EARLY WHITE MILAN 



An extra early variety of rapid growth with entirely white roots 

 and very small leaves. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 60c; lb., $1.25. 



930 PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE 



A large, globe-shaped variety. The upper surface of the bulb 

 is reddish purple, the lower part is white. It has a small, smooth 

 root and medium-sized tops. The flesh is pure white, crisp, very 

 fine and is one of the best sorts to store for winter. Recommended 

 for fall crop. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 45c; lb., $1.00. 



936 EARLY SNOWBALL, 



The finest white-fleshed, ball-shaped, early table Turnip; bulbs 

 small, smooth and round with white skin and sparkling white 

 flesh, crisp, tender and sweet. It is a fitting companion to the 

 yellow-fleshed Golden Ball offered on page 90, and equally early.
