Purple-Top 

 Milan Turnip 



Days to maturity, 45. This 

 small, tender, flat Turnip is a 

 garden variety, as distinct from 

 a farmer's variety. In table 

 quality it is far ahead of the 

 Purple-Top White Globe, and 

 because of its more delicate 

 texture should be harvested 

 soon after reaching its mature 

 size of about 2}4 inches. The 

 Milan types are yery often 

 used for forcing. In all cases 

 where extra-earhness, fine qual- 

 ity, and bright, attractive ap- 

 pearance are concerned, Purple-Top Milan should be given consideration. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts. ; 

 oz. 15 cts.; V^lb* 30 cts.; lb. $1 ; 5 lbs. or more, 90 cts. per lb. 



Red-Top White Globe 



Days to maturity, 70. In this stock we offer an excellent type of the standard commercial variety. Red- 

 Top White Globe is usuallv broadcasted with a grass mixture or alone during the month of August. Our 

 stock will be found a good type, of fine texture, and has reasonably good keeping qualities. We recommend, 

 however, that Red-Top White Globe be disposed of ahead of Rutabaga. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 15 cts.; l^lb. 20 cts.; lb. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. or more, 50 cts. per lb. 



Yellow Globe Rutabaga 



{Brassica campestris.) Days to maturity, 125. The Rutabaga, as compared to the turnip, requires a 

 longer season for development and is more highly esteemed as a real winter vegetable. The turnip is better 

 adapted to the earh^ market. Its flesh is not as firm as Rutabaga, and generafly speaking, the Rutabaga has 

 a rougher surface than the turnip and is not so sj"mmetricaL This feature is brought out in the above il- 

 lustration. They are, however, better keepers and are more highly prized for stock-feeding. Our stock of 

 Yellow Globe Rutabaga has a smafl top and is practically neckless. It wiH grow to a large size and wiH be 

 found of exceflent table quahty. The color is a rich golden yeHow with a definite fringe of purple around the 

 upper edge. The Rutabaga is usually planted in rows, not later than June. We recommend that they be 

 thinned to at least 6 inches in the row. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 Cts.; l^lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts.; 

 5 lbs. or more, 65 cts. per lb.
