TURNIP 



1050 Purple-Top White Globe 



This variety is very often spoken of as the Red-Top White Globe and is probably in larger 

 demand than any other Turnip. It is used for either table or stock purposes, but should be pulled 

 accordingly. It will be about ten days later in maturing than the Purple-Top Milan but grows to 

 a larger size and has a more attractive shape, the top half being a beautiful reddish purple and the 

 part under ground a pure ivory-white. It is a very highly recommended strain. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 20 cts., V 4 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



1051 Early Purple-Top Flat (Strap-Leaf) 



Also known as Early Red-Top Flat. An early flat Turnip of the very finest quality, and slightly 

 larger but in many respects very similar to the Purple-Top Milan. The roots should be prepared 

 for the table when not larger than 2Yi inches in diameter, but for stock purposes they may be 

 grown considerably larger. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., y 4 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



1059 Yellow or Amber Globe 



We consider this the best of the yellow varieties, for it can be used for the table or for stock- 

 feeding. It attains quite a fair size and is an excellent winter keeper. The flesh is crisp, firm and 

 of good quality; the roots should be pulled early for home consumption. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., 

 i/ 4 Ib. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



1052 Early White Egg 



A splendid table variety, growing to a good size and of finest quality. They are rapid growers , 

 often reaching a size of 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The flesh is fine-grained and of mild, sweet flavor. 

 The skin is pure white. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., y 4 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



RUTABAGA 



1070 Yellow Rutabaga (Imported Seed) 



An excellent strain, and the variety usually sold in this country. It is imported from France 

 and will produce excellent results of somewhat the same character of Turnip described above. 

 The seed is of high germination, and, for general purposes, will give a splendid account of itself. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., y 4 Ib. 50 cts., lb. $1.75. 



POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY 

 PLANTS 



Ready for shipment July 15 to September 30 



These plants are being grown for us at Red Bank, N. J., and being pot-grown will furnish a good 

 crop of berries the first season. The following varieties include the newest and best-known standard 

 sorts. Extreme care is taken in the matter of packing so that all plants should arrive in good con- 

 dition. Plants should be set 15 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart. Cut off all runners as they appear 

 and keep well cultivated. When the ground starts to freeze in December, cover the beds with 

 straw manure or salt meadow hay and in the spring rake the mulch off the plants to allow them to 

 come through. Keep the plants surrounded by the mulch in order that the soil holds moisture.
