RUTABAGAS 



OR SWEDES 



The Swede Turnips, or Rutabagas, 

 grow much larger in size, and are of 

 greater value for stock feeding than 

 ordinary turnips. Every farmer and 

 stock-raiser should grow Rutab.^gas 

 and Stock Beets for winter feeding.

Second Crop Southern 

 Grown Seed Potatoes 



Are the product of the first planting 

 in the spring, planted again as soon 

 as dug, and the result from that 

 planting stored away in the fall for 

 next season's use. 



The advantage derived from second 

 seed over first crop is that they do 

 not sprout or shrivel, or lose any of 

 their vigor through the winter, hav- 

 ing been checked by frost before ma- 

 turity; they lie dormant, ready to 

 grow vigorously when planted. They 

 rarely send up more than one sprout; 

 this may divide into several branches. 

 The consequence is that all the 

 growth goes into the tubers, which 

 grow to full marketable size 3 2 to 15 

 days earlier than ordinary seed. 



CROWN JEWEL. — This i= a seed- 

 ling of the Early Ohio. Skin white, 

 with a flesh tint; meat white and 

 floury, cooking evenly through. A 

 very early bearer, and its keeping 

 qualities are equal to the best. Ask 

 for prices. 



EARLY ROSE. — Ask for prices. 

 EARLY PURITAN. — A splendid 

 early sort; fine, white and prolific, 

 producing large crops of handsome, 

 smooth tubers. Ask for prices. 



Potato prices are subject to change 

 without notice. Special prices quoted 

 on application. Owing to the high 

 price of barrels we are shipping pota- 

 toes in barrel sacks.
