Pomeranean White Globe 



One of the most productive kinds 

 and in good, rich soil the roots will 

 frequently grow to twelve pounds 

 in weight. The roots are globe- 

 shaped or slightly flattened; skin 

 very white and smooth. This sort 

 is used for stock feeding and is also 

 good for table use if pulled when 

 the roots are not more than four 

 to five inches in diameter. Where 

 the winters are mild the tops are 

 used for greens. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;

r« nr« This sort is cultivated 



seven i op extensively in the 

 south for the tops which are used, 

 for greens. In many sections it is a 

 favorite green feed for stock and 

 its use like Rape for a pasture crop 

 is quite general. This sort is very 

 hardy and the growth usually con- 

 tinues throughout the winter. The 



variety is not generally depended on for the root since the tops are produced so abun- 

 dantly. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; 1/4 Lb. 20c; Lb. 70c.

oOUtnern i rize south where the tops furnish a-n abundance of cuttings. These are 



valued highly for salad or greens. The roots of Southern Prize are valuable as well as the 



tops, being remarkably large, symmetrical and excellent for feeding stock. A favorite for 



forage in the Virginias and Carolinas where it usually thrives throughout the winter 



without pi-otection. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; V4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 75c.
