tiful orange color. Leaves are small. Should 

 be sown in the fall of the year, and alwa3S 

 in drills, so that the plants can be thinned 

 out and worked. This kind ought to be 

 more cultivated. 



Amber Globe. This is very similar to 

 the above kind. 



Ivarge Cow Horn. A long white varie- 



Pomeranian Globe. A selec- 

 tion of the White Globe. It is 

 smoother and handsomer in shape; 

 good to plant early in spring. 

 When pulled before it is too large, 

 it is very saleable turnip in the 

 market. 



Improved Purple Top Ruta 

 Bag^a. This is grown for feeding 

 stock, and also for table use. It is 

 oblong in shape, yellow flesh, very 

 solid. Should always be sown in 

 rows or ridges, 



I^ong Island Purple Top 

 Ruta Baga. This kind is purely 

 of American orgin. The root is 

 smoother than the foregoing 

 variety; the flesh is of golden yel- 

 low, fine grained and solid; it 

 matures earlier than the above. 

 The stock we have is expressly 

 grown for us on Long Island and 

 can not be surpassed. Can not be 

 too highly recommended. 



Extra i^arly White French, 

 or White Egg Turnip. This is 

 a lately introduced variety; is said 

 to be ver}'^ early, tender and crisp. 

 The shape of it is oblong, resem- 

 bling an egg. Having tried it we 

 found it as represented, quickl)' 

 growing, tender and sweet. It will 

 never become a favorite market 

 variety, as only flat kinds sell well 

 here. Ithastobe pulled up soon, 

 as it becomes pithy shortly after 

 attaining maturity.

 horn, from which the name. It is good for 

 feeding stock. 



Sweet German, or Hanover. Re- 

 sembles the Ruta Baga in growth; it is a 

 white flesh variety, very solid arid sweet. If 

 sown in the fall will keep well until spring 

 without getting pithy like the flat varieties. 



Pomeraniau Globe. 



When young, the White Egg is the best table Turnip.
