| Japanese Turnip. 
A NEW VARIETY FROM THE LAND OR THE MIKADO. 
A Large, Tender and Sweet Turnip, Deserving Universal Trial. 
| This new turnip is a large, white variety of great merit, and comes 
| digeekly 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 
|\inting 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, and never becomes pethy. Asa heavy cropper and reliable winter 
keeper it cannot be excelled, and 1am able to recommend it highly to 
farmers and gardeners. It will be found adapted to table use as well as 
to stock. This variety is new, and the seed stock is limited. I can 
supply it this year only by the packet and ounce. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.

Maule’s Yellow Sweet 
Potato Pie Pumpkin. 
A FAMOUS HOUSEHOLD FAVORITE. 
This handsome and high-merit pumpkin, famed 
as a pie-maker, is one of the most satisfactory that 
I ever introduced. It has given satisfaction to 
many thousands of my customers. It is not only 
a good thing for the kitchen, but on account of its 
quality is an unsurpassed food for dairy cows, and 
in this way may add largely to protits of the farm. 
The fiesh is very thick and fine grained, of a 
beautiful golden yellow color, and in texture and 
flavor peculiarly adapted for pie making purposes. 
It is very prolific, a single vine often producing 
six or eight large pumpkins. Asa winter keeper 
it is unexcelled, as the pumpkins will remain in 
perfect condition until late in the spring. 
I do not know of anything in the shape of a 
pumpkin that will be found more satisfactory for 
the tamily garden or farm use than Maule’s 
Yellow Sweet Potato Pie Pumpkin; but, as its 
name indicates, it is especially adapted for house- 
hold purposes. It is sweet and delicate in flavor. 
Weighs ten or twelve pounds on the average, but 
easily running up to greater weight under good 
culture. Indeed, it can be made to assume mam- 
moth proportions, if desired; and its fine grain 
and delicate flavor will remain unimpaired. 
This pumpkin offers an illustration of the result 
ot care in selection. My stock is so well grown 
that the pumpkin is better, apparently, each year 
than the year before. It is now, however, almost 
perfect, and further improvement will be difficult, 
Packet, 10c.; ounce, 15c.; 4g pound, 40c.; pound, $1.25.
