Japanese Turnip. 
A NEW VARIETY FROM THE LAND OF THE MIKADO. 
A Large, Tender and Sweet Turnip, Deserving Universal Trial. 
This new turnip is a large white variety, of great merit, and comes 
directly from Japan; in fact, the seed which I offer was actually grown 
in Japan, and was imported expressly for this season’s sales. The shape 
of the turnip, as shown in the illustration, is between flat and globe. The 
color is a pure white, both outside and inside, except that there is a pale 
tinting of green on top, near the leaves. As it is a large turnip it has 
correspondingly large and vigorous leaves. It is solid and meaty in 
flesh. Asa heavy cropper and reliable winter keeper it cannot be ex- 
celled, and 1 am able to recommend it highly to farmers and gardeners. 
It will be found adapted to table use as wellas to stock. This variety 
is new, and the seed stock is limited. :

RUTA BAGAS OR SWEDE TURNIPS. 
MAULE’S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE.—I have been selling 
this magnificent ruta baga for 21 years, having first offered it in 
1888, and it has given perfect satisfaction everywhere. It is, I think, the 
| finest and most profitable of all the Swede turnips, being the hardiest, 
heaviest, best shaped and most productive. Theroots are better keepers 
than other sorts. The flesh is of a beautiful yellow color, of the 
choicest quality, and full of nourishment. The external markings, the 
shape, etc., may be learned by referring to the illustration. It is the 
king of the ruta bagas. Pkt., 5¢.3 oz, 10c.3 14 Ib., 25¢.3 lb., 75c.

winter, and even into the following summer. It is hardy, productive, 
sweet, solid and satisfactory. Its shape is shown in the illustration, 
which also gives a hint ofits yield. It is justly held in high esteem for 
both table and stock feeding purposes. My strain of this seed is of the

10 cents; 4 pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents.
