GOLDEN BALL 



or "ORANGE 

 JELLY" TURNIP 



926. 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, but can be stored and used during the winter. (See engrav- 

 ing.)

 TOP 



WHITE GLOBE TURNIP 



RUTA BAGA 



RUSSIAN or 

 SWEDISH TURNIP 



Grows very rapidly, and yields from twenty-five to thirty-five tons 'per acre 

 in good, rich, deep soil, with proper cultivation. The Ruta Baga proper 

 should be sown in this latitude from May 25th to June 25th. Sow 2 to & 

 pounds per acre. 



HENDERSON'S Long Island Improved 

 950. This is undoubtedly the finest 

 .variety of purple-top Ruta Baga and 

 originated by one of our Long Island 

 growers. It is twice the size of ordinary 

 American stocks, and although size is 

 usually got at the expense of quality, the 

 quality is superior to any that we have 

 tested, and it is perfectly hardy. In a 

 fair test on several Long Island farms, 

 alongside some of the best European and 

 American varieties, it produced almost 

 twice the weight per acre of' any other 

 variety. 



Long Island Improved has been bred 

 from the American Piirple Top, over 

 which it is a great improvement. It is 

 very much larger, has no neck, and is a 

 remarkably good keeper; the flesh is rich 

 yellow, and of fine quality. (See en- 

 graving.)

"From one packet of L. I. Improved Ruta 

 Baga I bought from you last season, I grew 700 

 lbs. weight. Some of the Ruta Bagas weighed 7 

 lbs. each." JOHN MORRISSEY, 



Henrietta, N. Y. 



"Just before I retired from the market gar- 

 dening business I raised in one season 3123 

 bushels of Henderson's Long Island Ruta Baga. 

 They were the pride of the neighborhood." 



CYR US PICKETT, Cheshire, Conn. 



Ruta Baga I 



930. A very large globe-shaped variety. The upper surface of 

 the bulb is reddish purple, the lower part is white. It grows smooth, 

 has a small 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. (See engraving.)

Rirf&P STRAP LEAVED TURNIP 



920. This is perhaps the most popular of all the quick-growing 

 sorts and may be used to good advantage for the early spring crop. 

 It grows very rapidly under proper conditions, and in eight weeks 

 from sowing will produce a good crop of tender roots of mild and 

 pleasing flavor. The leaves are short, the roots quite flat, the upper 

 half reddish purple, the lowsr half white. The flesh is pure white, 

 crisp and fine grained. 



Price. 5c. pkt.. 15c. oz., 45c. Y± lb.. $1.50 lb. 



Turnips are easy to grow, but do not do well in late summer, so the 

 spring crop must be sown in this section before April 15th. This crop 

 will maturebef ore June 10th and the turnips should be used when quite 

 young and tender. Turnips grow best in the fall from seed sown from 

 July 15th to July 25th. The varieties grown at this season remain 

 in good condition all winter.
