TURNIP 



F 



'OR early use, sow the small sorts 

 as soon as the ground can be 

 worked In the spring. In drills 

 14 Inches apart, the Rutabagas ao 

 Inches. As the seed Is very fine. 

 It should be covered but slightly, 

 excepting In very dry weather. Select light, and, If possible, new 

 BoU and manure with plaster and ashes or phosphates. Should the 

 young plants be troubled with Insects, a sprinkling of slug shot will 

 fee 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.

RUTABAGAS 



OR SWEDES 



THE Swede Turnips, or Rutabagas, 

 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.

 variety for stock and fine for family 

 use. This splendid Swede is the

 is more like a rutabaga. The root is 

 large, both skin and flesh very white, 

 and is one of the best varieties we have 

 for table use. An excellent keeper and 

 a <]esirable sort for market gardeners.

PURPLE-TOP 



RTTTABAGA. 



Second Crop Southern 

 Grown Seed Potatoes 



Are the product of the first planting 1m 

 the spring, planted again as soon as 

 dug, and the result from that planting 

 stored away in the fall for next sea- 

 son's use. 



The advantage derived from second 

 seed over flrst crop is that they do not 

 sprout or shrivel, or lose any of their 

 vigor through the winter, having beem 

 checked by frost before maturity ; they 

 lie dormant, ready to grow vigorously 

 when planted. They rarely send up 

 more than one sprout; this may divide 

 into several branches. The consequence 

 is that all the growth goes into the 

 tubers, which grow to full marketable 

 size 12 to 15 days earlier than ordinary 

 seed. 



CROWN JEWEL. — This is a seed- 

 ling of the Early Ohio. Skin white, 

 with a flesh tint ; meat white and floury, 

 cooking evenly through. A very early 

 bearer, and its keeping qualities are 

 equal to the best. Crop failed. 



EARLY ROSE. — Crop failed. 



EARLY PURITAN. — A splendid 

 early sort : fine, white and prolific, pro- 

 ducing large crops of handsome, smooth 

 tubers. Crop failed. 



Potato prices are subject to change 

 without notice. Special prices quoted 

 on application. Owing to the high price 

 of barrels we are shipping potatoes m 

 barrel sacks.
