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. Theshape 
of the turnip, as shown 1n the illustration, is between fiat and globe. The 
color is a pure white, both outside and inside, except that there is a pale 
linting of green on top, near the leayes. 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 I 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. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; 14 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.25.

707 MAULE’S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE.—I have been sell- | 
ing 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. The roots 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., 5c.3; oz., 10c.; 14 1b., 30¢.3 lb., 85c. 
708 IMPROVED PURPLE TOP SWEDE. — Next in yield and 
value after my Heavy Cropping Swede, I place this old standard varie- 
ty. It is of fine quality and is widely grown. It keeps perfectly all 
winter, and even into the following summer. Itis hardy, productive, 
sweet, solid and satisfactory. Its shape is shown in the illustration, 
which also gives a hint ofits yield. Itis justly held in high esteem for 
both table and stock feeding purposes. My strain of this seed is of the 
best, as I long since succeeded, by careful selection, in attaining a 
stock of the highest purity and excellence.
