TURNIP 



Improved Purple or 



Bed Top Globe 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 in- 

 sects, 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 Purple or Bed Top Globe Turnip. 



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 diam- 

 eter, 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 Plat Strap-Leaved 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 me- 

 dium 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. 



YELLOW ABEEDIBN, or SCOTCH YELLOW — This is a highly ap- 

 proved Cattle Turnip, attaining a large size. It is solid, nutritious, a good 

 keeper, and in every respect reliable. 



LARGE AMBER or YELLOW GLOBE — Grows to a large size; flesh 

 yellow, firm and fine grained. Excellent for either table use or feeding 

 stock. 



SEVEN TOP — For greens and salads. Used largely in the Southern 

 States.

SOUTHERN PBIZE — True strain of the favorite Turnip for 

 greens in Virginia and Carolinas. Valued also for its bulk. 



RUTABAGAS OB SWEDES — The Swede Turnips, or Ruta- 

 bagas, grow much larger in size, and are of greater value 

 for stock feeding than ordinary turnips. Every farmer and 

 stock-raiser should grow Rutabagas and Stock Beets for win- 

 ter feeding.

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 FEIZE.— This pota- 



toto 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. 



IRISH COBBLER — 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 variety. Don't 

 fail to get it. 



BED BLISS TRIUMPH. — 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. 



SFAULDING 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. 



FBOSFEBITY. — A middle-crop variety, one of the hand- I BUBAL NEW YORKER, No. 2. — A valulable variety of 

 somest large Potatoes ever produced. The yield is immense, I large size, very smooth and a great cropper; in quality unex- 

 and even under unfavorable circumstances can be relied on; I celled. This variety is yearly becoming more popular as the 

 flesh very white; cooks dry and mealy. I best late long keeper, and we recommend it highly.
