Yellow Globe Rutabaga Turnip 



SUPER-STANDARD 



Philadelphia County Strain 



(Brassica campestris.) Days to maturity, 125. This is a home- 

 grown stock of the true globe Rutabaga. It is the type of Ruta- 

 baga known to the market gardeners of Philadelphia, it having the 

 true globe shape and deep yellow flesh with the usual purple 

 tinge over the shoulder. The colored photograph shown on 

 this page is not adequate and must not be taken as an 

 exact replica of this stock. Rutabaga requires a longer 

 time for development than the quicker-growing turnip. 

 It is usually planted in rows during May or June 

 We recommend that they be thinned to at least 6 

 inches in the row, for otherwise they will not reach 

 their full development. The stock we offer, although 

 much higher in price than the ordinary commercial 

 grades, will prove proportionately more valuable. The 

 experienced market gardener knows that it is impos- 

 sible to buy the best stocks of Rutabaga for less than $5 w 

 per pound. This present strain is offered with every 

 assurance that it will give you the desired results. Price, 

 delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; y 4 lb. $1.25; lb. $5.

This strain has been selected for the bright ^ t 



^ m red top, as compared to the more usual , Yellow 



mm purple. We offer it, believing that it x Globe 



WK will prove more salable than the usual Rutabaga 

 VJg Purple-Top White Globe. This has 



been the experience of many New England gardeners. Our stock will 

 prove uniform, of good te xture, and have good keeping qualities. 

 The price asked for it is slightly higher than for the purple, but 

 it is quite worth the difference. Price, delivered: Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; V 4 lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. or 

 more, $1.15 per lb. 



Purple-Top Milan 



Days to maturity, 45. This small, rather flattened 

 Turnip, is distinctly for home market purposes. It 

 is not a farmer's Turnip in the common acceptance 

 of the term. In quality, Purple-Top Milan is ahead 

 of the Purple-Top White Globe. This variety, how- 

 ever, should be harvested soon after reaching its mature 

 size of about 23^ inches. Purple-Top Milan is also 

 recommended for forcing under glass, although this 

 phase is not often of much commercial importance. 

 Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; y 4 lb. 40 cts.; 

 lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. or more, $1.15 per lb. 



One-half ounce of seed plants 100 feet of drill; 2 pounds, drilled, 

 plant an acre; if broadcasted, allow 3 pounds
