SMALL FRUITING TOMATOES £lS£V 

 892 POMODORO, ITALIAN LARGE RED PLUM 



A beautiful bright red plum-shaped tomato. It is the most delicious and 

 attractive salad tomato ever introduced. It contains practically no acid 

 and possesses a delicate flavor so much desired in salads. Large Red Plum 

 is one of the best varieties in cultivation for making the delicious tomato 

 preserve, and it is also ideal for dehydrating. It is one of the most pro- 

 lific tomatoes we have ever grown, beginning early in the season and con- 

 tinuing uninterruptedly up to frost. The fruits are the size of a good-sized 

 plum and are borne in clusters of six or more.

TURHIP 



CULTURE — Sow the early varieties in April or May in drills from fifteen to eighteen inches apart, and thin out from four to six 

 inches in the rows. For a succession sow at intervals of a fortnight until the last week in May for early crop, and in July or August 

 for fall crop, at which season they grow best. One oz. to 150 feet of drill. 



WHITE FLESHED VARIETIES 



Two Valuable Turnips 

 919 EARLIEST FLAT JAPAN 



The earliest turnip in cultivation, maturing in about 37 days. 

 This delightful gem is destined to create a new interest in this 

 excellent vegetable. The beautiful smooth glistening appearance 

 of the small flattish snow white turnip and the mild delicate flavor 

 will make it a welcome addition to the daily diet. 



It is particularly recommended for an early spring crop, for it is 

 at this season most turnips are inclined to have a slightly bitter 

 flavor which is entirely missing in this sort. The foliage of most 

 turnips grows close to the ground and becomes an ideal breeding 

 place for aphis; not so this variety, it grows directly upright, conse- 

 quently it does not protect aphis and also permits thorough 

 spraying. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $1.75. 



937 TOKYO 



Like the foregoing, is also a new Japanese turnip; it varies, in that 

 the turnips are globular in shape, otherwise it is very similar with 

 the exception that it is three or four days later than the Earliest 

 Flat Japan. 



In many sections "turnip greens" is very popular. Tokyo is 

 especially recommended for this purpose, because the foliage grows 

 upright and is very resistant to the attacks of aphis or blight and 

 produces a fine crop of foliage. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; V± lb., 75c; lb., $1.75. 



922 EARLY WHITE MILAN 



An extra early variety of rapid growth with entirely white roots 

 and very small leaves. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 60c; lb., $1.50. 



930 PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE 



A large, globe-shaped variety. The upper surface of the bulb 

 is reddish purple, the lower part is white. It has a small, smooth 

 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. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 45c; lb., $1.00. 



Yellow-Fleshed Varieties 

 926 GOLDEN BALL or "Orange Jelly" 



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 fine in texture 

 as to earn the name "Orange Jelly." Sown in July it gives a very- 

 satisfactory crop in early fall, and can be stored and used during 

 the winter. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 50c; lb., $1.25. 



940 YELLOW GLOBE 



A yellow-fleshed, globe-shaped variety, of large size; a splendid 

 winter-keeper; excellent for both table and stock. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 45c; lb., $1.00.
