TURNIP 



For early use, sow the small sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in the 

 spring, in drills 14 inches apart, the Rutabagas 30 inches. As the seed is very fine, 

 it should be covered but slightly, excepting in very dry weather. Select light, and 

 if possible, new soil and manure with plaster and ashes or phosphates. Should the 

 young plants be troubled with insects, a sprinkling of slug shot will be beneficial. 

 For fall and winter use the early kinds should be sown, from the middle of July to 

 the middle of August, and the Rutabagas from the middle of June to the first of 

 July, using from one to one and a half pounds of seed to the acre. 



Improved Purplo or Bed Top Globe Tiirnip 



This excellent table variety is globular in shape, of good size and very attractive 

 appearance. The roots are large, purple or dark red above ground, white below. 

 The flesh is white, fine grained and tender. The roots when in best condition for 

 the table are about three inches in diameter, but can be grown much larger for 

 stock feeding. This sort keeps well for so early a variety, and is one of the best 

 for market use. It is also known as Red Top White Globe. 



Bed or Purple Top Flat Strap-I^eaved Turnip 



A very early, strap-leaved variety, very extensively used for the table. The leaves 

 are few, entirely upright in growth. The roots are flat, of medium size, purple or 

 dark red above ground, white below. The flesh is white, fine grained and tender. 

 Roots when in best condition for table use are about two and one-half inches in 

 diameter, but can be grown much larger for stock feeding. This sort is also known 

 as Early Red Top, Strap-Leaved.

SEED POTATOES— MAINE OR NORTHERN CROWN 



AIiI^ POTATOES SOLD BY WEIGHT ONLY; BUSHEL, 60 POUNDS. 



The soil best suited to the Potato is a rich, sandy loam; but it seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate. The Potato 

 being a gross feeder requires a liberal application of manure. If stable manure is to be used it should be well-rotted, 

 and not allowed to come in contact with the tubers. On no other crop are the results from the use of phosphates so mani- 

 fest as on the Potato. Almost invariably the tubers are smoother, brighter and freer from rust and the destructive influence 

 of wire worms. Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked in rows three feet apart and one foot 

 in the rows, covering in light, warm soil about four inches, and in cold wet ground three inches deep; draw the earth to the 

 plants as they advance in growth. The soil should be constantly stirred through the season to prevent the surface from 

 baking. 



G. & T. CO.'S EXTBA EABLY PBIZE —This pota- 

 to is in all respects a very popular early sort. It 

 proved to be early and productive: also found its eat- 

 ing qualities first class. We consider it the best early 

 potato on the market today. 



IBISH COBBLEB — Very productive, matures early; 

 shape chunky, eyes strong and deep set, skin netted, 

 flesh white, quality very superior. After years' experi- 

 ence we find that it is a very superior] yariety. Don't 

 fail to get it. 



BED BLISS TBIUMPH. — This beautiful variety com- 

 bines the wonderful productiveness of the Peerless 

 with all the good qualities of the Early Rose; is much 

 more productive and matures its crop at least a week 

 in advance of the Early Rose. 



SPAULDING BOSE. — The Early Rose led the list for 

 over 30 years, and is today one of the best early market 

 Potatoes. Our stock of this is grown on new land 

 near Houlton, Maine; is rugged and pure, and pro- 

 duces as good crops as those which made the Early 

 Rose famous in its early years. Remember that this 

 stock is not to be confounded with the old run-out 

 Rose grown in other sections. 



GBEEN MOUNTAIN — This is a most excellent late 

 Potato; it does remarably well on poor soils, and is very 

 free from disease; it resists drought wonderfully well 

 and produces tubers of large size and attractive appear- 

 ance; flesh white. It is a good keeper, and when put 

 away in the fall will keep well until spring. Matures 

 in 140 days. 



PBOSPEBITY. — A middle-crop variety, one of the hand- 

 somest large Potatoes ever produced. The yield is immense, 

 and even under unfavorable circumstances can be relied on; 

 flesh very white; cooks dry and mealy.
