S. S. Yellow Rutabaga 



S. S. Purple-Top White Globe Turnip 



TURNIPS 



Culture. — For early Turnips sow as soon as the ground is warm enough. For winter use sow from the middle of July until the end of 

 August. Small varieties will be ready for use in six to eight weeks. The seed is generally sown broadcast, but larger crops are obtained, 

 particularly of Rutabagas, by cultivating in drills 18 inches apart and thinning to 6 inches apart in the drills. 



One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 1 pound of seed to the acre in drills; 2 to 3 pounds to the acre if sown broadcast 



loso S. S. Purple-Top White Globe 



1054 Purple-Top Milan 



This is a very handsome globe-shaped Turnip. Reddish purple j This is the earliest and most tender of all Turnips. Clear ivory- 

 on the upper half and pure white the lower. It is not as early as the white skin, with purple top. For table use is unexcelled, but it is 

 Purple-Top Flat, but grows to a much larger size, and the flesh is not so good a keeper as the two sorts mentioned before. Pkt. 5 cts , 

 pure white, very fine-grained and is excellent either for table use or oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 

 for stock-feeding. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts 



1059 Yellow or Amber Globe 



This is a yellow-fleshed Turnip, very largely grown for stock- 

 feeding. It attains a large size and is an excellent winter keeper. 

 It is fine-grained and makes an excellent table Turnip as well. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., y 4 lb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts. 



1057 Long Cow-Horn 



This is a white Turnip, growing long in shape and partially out of 

 the ground. It is largely used for feeding stock and is also very 

 valuable as a soil renovator and pulverizer. It can be sown with 

 red or crimson clover. Part of the crop can be gathered for feeding 

 and the balance left over winter to rot in the ground. This leaves 

 the soil in excellent condition for the succeeding spring crop, par- 

 ticularly in hard, stiff, clay land. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., 

 lb. 75 cts. 



1052

 and underneath pure white. This is a great favorite with small- 

 garden planters. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts.

RUTABAGAS 



The "Swedish" or "Russian" Turnips require a long season in which to grow. The seed, in the latitude of Philadelphia, should be 

 sown by the middle of July. The flesh is very solid, of rich flavor, and the Rutabagas keep in fine condition through the winter if buried 

 in the ground below frost. They furnish a valuable, clean food for cattle during the winter months. The foliage is distinct from that of 

 the early Turnips, having long, deeply lobed leaves and smooth surface. 



io64 S. S. Yellow Rutabaga 



This is an American-grown strain of this popular Rutabaga, which 

 is very largely used for stock-feeding. Large, globe-shaped bulbs, of 

 rich purplish color on the upper portion and deep yellow below the 

 soil. Very smooth, with a single, small tap-root. The richly colored 

 flesh is fine-grained and sweet. This American-grown strain has 

 been carefully selected and will grow smooth and without prongy 

 roots. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V 4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



1070 Yellow Rutabaga ( lm £° e r d ed ) 



This is an excellent strain, and the variety usually sold in this 

 country. It is imported from England and will produce excellent 

 results of somewhat the same character of Turnip as the S. S. 

 Yellow Rutabaga previously described. The seed is cheaper in price 

 and, for ordinary purposes, will answer as well, though it does not 

 make so uniform and large Turnips as the American-grown seed.
