 and by Ferry in 1889. An oval or egg-shaped turnip, with smooth, 

 white, medium-size roots, half of which grow out of the ground.

PURPLE TOP STRAP-LEAF (x y 2 ) 



No. 1056— Purple Top Strap-Leaf 



Days to Maturity, 55. Offered by Hovey in 1877. This variety 

 is about two weeks earlier than the Purple Top White Globe, much 

 flatter and is strap-leaved. Although they can be grown to a much 

 larger size for stock purposes, the roots are best for table use when 

 about two and one-half inches in diameter. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, 

 M lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



No. 1058— Purple Top White Globe 



Days to Maturity, 70. An American selection made from some of 

 the earlier English types. Offered in this country prior to 1885. 

 One of the late maincrop sorts of excellent quality, remarkable as a 

 keeper. When grown for table purposes, it should be gathered when 

 but two-thirds grown. These qualities and its attractive appear- 

 ance no doubt are responsible for its great popularity. No variety 

 of turnip is more generally planted in America than Purple Top 

 White Globe. For table use we would advise early gathering. For 

 stock purposes the root should be allowed its full growth. Pkt. 10c, 

 oz. 20c, M lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



No. 1060 — Yellow or Amber Globe 



Days to Maturity, 65. An old English variety. This turnip is 

 grown very largely for stock feeding. The roots attain a large size 

 and are globular in shape. The skin is a clear yellow, with a green 

 tinge around the top. The flesh is light yellow, fine grained and 

 sweet. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, \i lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



No. 1064 — Long Cow Horn 



Days to Maturity, 60. A standard English variety. The root is 

 cylindrical, usually twisted and irregular in shape, having a length 

 of from ten to twelve inches. The flesh is fine grained and of excel- 

 lent flavor, but for table use it is a variety which should be used when 

 it is three to four inches long. It is a desirable stock turnip. Pkt. 

 10c, oz. 20c, M lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



No. 1062 — Pomeranian White Globe 



Days to Maturity, 65. A very old variety offered by Russell in 

 1827. One of the most productive turnips cultivated. When the 

 ground is sufficiently rich, they will produce roots often ten to twelve 

 pounds in weight. Roots are globe shaped but slightly flattened. 

 Skin very white and smooth. Principally grown for stock feeding, 

 but may be used for table if pulled when young. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, 

 \i lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE (x y 2 ) 



No. 1070 — Rutabaga, American Purple Top 



Days to Maturity, 90. This type of rutabaga has been grown in 

 this country for a hundred years. Comstock, Ferre listed it in 1834. 

 The American strain is a selection from the older English type. It 

 has been selected for a smaller top and shorter neck than is usually 

 found in England. The roots are globular, but grow to a large size 

 and are of splendid quality. An excellent sort for either table use 

 or stock feeding. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, \i lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



THE WINDERMOOR STANDARD 



THE MAKING OF A LAWN 



In the first place, very careful grading is necessary, followed by 

 a rich covering of top soil (if it is not already there), and then by an 

 application of commercial fertilizer. We never recommend animal 

 manure of any kind because of its weed content. After a very care- 

 ful preparation by harrowing, followed by continuous hand-raking, 

 a good seed-bed can be provided. 



The seed should be sown broadcast, after which the ground 

 should be rolled, if possible. Never plant grass seed when the soil 

 is absolutely dry and there is no prospect of rain, for under such 

 conditions there is great danger of losing the entire sowing if a wind- 

 storm should happen to strike it. Under favorable conditions the 

 lawn will be ready to cut with a mower inside of six weeks. Spring 

 and fall are the two seasons for making lawns. The hot summer 

 months are not desirable, for good results are hard to obtain during 

 warm weather. 



Grass seed should be sown on the following basis: For a newly 

 made lawn, sow one pound every 500 square feet, or 100 pounds per 



acre, and for spring or fall resowing of an old lawn, sow one pound 

 every 1000 square feet. When lawns are in rather bad condition, it 

 it best to rake them thoroughly, getting out all the dead grass, and 

 making a new application of grass seed followed by rolling. 



THE WINDERMOOR STANDARD 



This mixture is made up on the following formula per hundred 

 pounds: 



Forty-five per cent. Kentucky Blue Grass, 

 Forty per cent. Red Top or Herd's Grass, 

 Ten per cent. Perennial Rye Grass, 

 Five per cent. White Dutch Clover.

 thus knows very definitely what he is buying. There is no chaff 

 in the mixture, which is often found in lawn grasses when it is sold 

 by the bushel. Price, lb. 50c, 5 lbs. $2.25, 10 lbs. $4.50, post- 

 paid. 100 lbs. by express, at purchaser's expense, $40.00.
