TURNIP 



Japan Sends Us Two Valuable New Turnips 

 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, wUl make it a welcome addition. 



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, 

 consequently it does not protect aphis and also permits thorough 

 spraying. Price, oz. 15c., }4 lb. 50c., lb. $1.25. 



Tokyo. Like the foregoing, is also a new Japanese turnip; 

 it varies, in that the roots are globular in shapej 

 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. {See 

 engraving.) Price, oz. 15c., }i lb. 50c., lb. SI. 25.

Yellow-Fleshed Varieties 



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, but can be stored and used during the winter. {See 

 engraving.) Price, oz. 10c. , J^ lb. 30c., lb. 85c. 



Yellow Globe. ^ yellow-fleshed, globe-shaped variety, of large 

 size; a splendid winter keeper; excellent for both

Aphis the bug-bear of Turnips is now easily controlled with "Evergreen" or Red Arrow (see page 63)
