EARLY MINNESOTA. 



Our tomatoes are grown for seed only, and used for 

 no other purpose. We offer only those varieties which 

 have proved superior after a fair trial. }{ lb. of seed 

 will furnish plants sufficient to plant one acre. 



FLORA FREED. See page 4. 



HOINOR BRIGHT. A distinct bright red variety pos- 

 sessing peculiarities of its own, namely : solidity, long 

 keeping qualities after picked and the changes of color 

 the fruit undergoes during development. First it is 

 light green, then an attractive waxy white, later lemon 

 changing to red when fully ripe. It can be shipped in 

 barrels like apples and if picked in the earlier stages 

 can be stored in a cool place and kept for several 

 weeks. An excellent table variety, very productive; 

 skin smooth and seldom cracks. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c;

ATLANTIC PRIZE. This valuable variety originated 

 in New Jersey, and at once became very popular 

 because of its extreme earliness, good shipping quali- 

 ties, and general adaptability as a Market Garden 

 sort. The vine is of strong, vigorous growth, and the 

 fruit is borne m immense clusters. Pkt., 5c: oz., 20c;

 fine form and bright red in color when fully ripe.

VARIETIES.

EARLY EXTRA WHITE MILAN. 



To produce a good crop of Turnips it is essential to 

 plant good seed. It is the height of folly to use poor 

 or questionable seed because it can be obtained at a 

 saving in cost of a few cents a pound. The seed I 

 offer is unsurpassed, being grown from selected stocks 

 and will give the very best results. 



EXTRA EARLY WHITE IMILAN. A marvel of earli- 

 ness, m fact the earliest variety in cultivation. Tops 

 upright, very small and compact, permitting of close 

 planting; roots, pure white, very smooth, symmetrical 

 and beautiful. Flesh snow-white, delicate in flavor, 

 tender and sweet. A heavy yielder and a good ship- 

 per and keeper. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 3i lb., 20c: lb., 65c. 



EARLY WHITE FLAT DUTCH. The leading early 

 market variety. Grows quickly ; skin white ; flesh juicy, 

 of mild flavor and most excellent quality; a good variety 

 to sow very early in the spring, and again in July and 

 August for autumn use. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V lb,, 15c; 

 lb., 50c. 



PURPLE TOP STRAP LEAF. The most popular 

 variety, more largely grown than any other; very 

 productive and of extra fine quality; of quick growth; 

 flesh fine grained and sweet flavored; very attractive 

 and a profitable market variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; l£ 

 lb., 15c; lb., 45c. 



WHITE EGG. Of rapid growth, egg-shaped, with 

 white skin; the best for table use, being sweet, smooth 

 and fine grained. It grows to a good size and is excel- 

 lent either as an early or late variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 

 10c; }£ lb., 15c; lb. 50c. 



YELLOW-FLESHED VARIETIES. 

 ORANGE JELLY, or Robertson's Golden Ball. Un- 



doubtedly among the most delicate and sweetest yel- 

 low-fleshed turnips yet introduced. Not of large size, 

 but firm, hard and of most excellent flavor. Keeps 

 well and is superior as a table variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 

 10c; }i lb., 20c; lb., 50c. 



PURPLE TOP YELLOW ABERDEEN. Roots medium 

 sized, round; flesh pale yellow, tender and sugary; 

 hardy and productive and keep well. It is an old and 

 esteemed variety, approaching the Ruta Baga in hardi- 

 ness and firmness of texture. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V lb., 

 15c • lb 45c 



YELLOW GLOBE (Amber Globe.) Of large size; flesh

 perties, hardiness and long keeping qualities. Should 

 be sown late. Pkt., 5c; oz., lOc," X lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 



LONG ISLAND I>1PR0VED, or American Purple Top. 



This is a strain of Purple Top Yellow Ruta Baga of 

 American origin, selected to a smaller top and much 

 shorter neck than is uusally found, while the roots grow 

 to a large size and are of the finest quality. I consider 

 this one of the most desirable kinds. Pkt., 5c; oz., lOc; 

 3^ lb., 20c; lb., 50c. 



YELLOW PURPLE TOP. Decidedly the most popular 

 variety. For feeding stock it has no equal, beiugsolid, 

 sweet, rich and nutritious. It will yield one-third more 

 to the acre than any other vai'iety — a good keeper,
