Golden Ball 



Or "Orange Jelly" Turnip 



A very distinct variety, and 

 the finest yellow fleshed sort for 

 family use. It grows a very 

 shapely bulb, medium in size, 

 almost round, very smooth, and 

 quite free from side roots. The 

 skin is pale yellow, the flesh deep 

 yellow throughout, and so 'line in 

 texture as to earn the name 

 " Orange Jelly." Sown in July it 

 gives a very satisfactory crop in 

 early fall, and may be used to 

 great advantage during winter if 

 properly stored. Price, 5c. pkt v 

 10c. oz., 30c. \i lb., $1.00 lb. 



Purple Top White 

 Globe Turnip 



A very large globe-shaped 

 variety. The upper surface of the 

 bulb is reddish purple, the lower 

 part is white. It grows smooth, 

 has a small root and medium 

 sized tops. The flesh is pure 

 white, crisp, very fine, and is one 

 of the best sorts to store for 

 winter. Recommended for fall 

 crop. (See engraving). Price, 5c. nkt..

Henderson's Golden Heart Ruta Baga 



Excellent for the family garden. It grows as clean and smooth 

 as a Turnip. Both tops and roots are smaller than those of any 

 other sort; it may therefore stand closer in the row, and may also 

 be sown later in the season. The flesh is remarkably fine grained 

 and of good flavor. {See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c, 

 M lb., $1.25 lb. 



"Your Golden Heart Ruta Baga seed came up fine in three days. It is a \i/.- 

 grand variety." ' * 



G. M. HULSART, Lakewood. N. J. ■ 



" Henderson's Golden Heart Ruta Baga is the first I have found to suit this soil v;'.y 

 and climate. It does not run to leaves and neck as others do." 



P. S. ARMSTRONG. Beatrice. Neb. 



Henderson's Long Island Improved Ruta Baga. Bred from the 

 American Purple Top, over which it is a great improvement. It is 

 very much larger, has no neck, and is a remarkably good keeper; the 

 flesh is rich yellow, and of fine quality. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 

 li lb., $1.00 lb. 



"Just before I retired from the market gardening business I raised hi one season 

 3123 bushels of Henderson's Long Island Ruta Baga. They were the pride of the 

 neighborhood." CYRUS PICKETT, Cheshire, Conn. 



TABLE TURNIPS 



Turnips are^asy to grow, but rarely do well in summer. The spring crop 

 must be sow7i in this section before April \5tk, so that it will mature before 

 May 25th. Early turnips shoula be used when quite youtig in order to be 

 tender. If they remain in the ground too long, they are liable to be both 

 woody and strong flavored. Turnips grow best in the fall from seed sown 

 fro>n July 15th to July 25th. The varieties grown at this season remain in 

 good condition all winter. 



Early Snowball Turnip 



One of the best white-fleshed sorts grown. It is an excellent sort 

 to sow very early for a spring crop, when, if used before fully grown, 

 it will be of particularly good quality and very tender. It may also 

 be used to good advantage to grow a quick crop for immediate use 

 in the fall, if sown during August, or even as late as September 

 10th. We do not urge its use for winter keeping, as many other 

 sorts are preferable. It is one of the most evenly shaped of all 

 Turnips. The bulbs when trimmed are almost a perfect sphere, 

 snow white in color, and quite free from side roots. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. \i lb., $1.00 lb. 



Early White Milan Turnip 



An extra early variety of rapid growth with very small leaves. 

 It is admirably adapted for spring and early summer planting, and 

 if sown during the early spring will furnish a supply of the most 



tender and delicately flavored 

 Turnips. The root is of small 

 size, smooth and ivory white 

 both inside and out. The flesh is 

 fine grained, tender, mild and 

 sweet in flavor, and when grown 

 quickly never becomes pithy or 

 woody. It is greatly esteemed 

 by all, and, in addition to the 

 heavy crop assured by its adapt- 

 ability for close planting, it is 

 fit for use at least a week earlier 

 than any other white variety in 

 cultivation. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 20c. oz., 60c. i 4 lb., $2.00 lb. 



Early Red Top Strap 

 Leaved TurniD 



J. 



This is perhaps the most popu- 

 lar of all the quick growing sorts, 

 and may be used to good ad- 

 vantage for the early spring 

 crop. It grows very rapidly 

 under proper conditions, and in 

 six weeks from sowing will pro- 

 duce a good crop of tender 

 i-.^ roots of mild and pleas- 

 fe. ing flavor. The leaves 

 jg^. are short, the roots 

 SjK quite flat, the up- 

 Kgk per half reddish 

 g«v purple, the 

 H lower half 

 HffiSfA white. The
