rot-like in form, growing nearly half out of the ground, 

 and generally slightly crooked. It is pure white, except 

 a little shade of green near the top. It is delicate and 

 well flavored, of very rapid growth, and has obtained 

 considerable favor as a market sort for fall and early 

 winter use. It is in increasing demand every year. 



Improved Purple Top Mammoth. — Glo^e shaped, 

 large, firm in texture, juicy, and of exceedingly quick 

 growth, and very hardy. 



Large White Flat Norfolk. 



Large White Flat Norfolk.— A standard sort for 

 field culture, and is extensively grown all over the world 

 for stock feeding. It is round, flat ; color white ; often 

 attains to a very large size. The seed should be sown a 

 little earlier than the table sorts. It is allowed to stand 

 out during the winter at the south and southwest, where 

 the tops are used for greens. 



Red Top Flat Norfolk.— A handsome, flat shaped 

 root, purple above ground, with small top and tap root. 

 An excellent variety, grown both for table use and stock, 

 differing but Httle in shape from the Strap-Leaved, ex- 

 cept in the form of the leaf, though not of so fine a 

 quality. 



Pomeranean White Globe.— Is one of the most 

 productive kinds ; in good, rich soil, the roots will fre- 

 quently grow to twelve pounds in weight ; it is of the 

 most perfect globe shape; skin white and smooth; leaves 

 dark green, and of strong growth. 



Pomeranean W^hite Globe, Strap-Leaved. — This 

 is an American variety which has become very popular, 

 especially in the Southern States, where it is much 

 grown for table use and for stock. The roots grow fully 

 as large as those of the English variety, and being accli- 

 mated, it is almost certain to produce a large crop. The 

 leaves are of entire upright growth. 



Purple Top White Globe. — A variety of the purple 

 top flat turnip, from which it originated. It is globular 

 in form, and quite as large as the Pomeranean White 

 Globe ; of beautiful appearance, of most excellent qual- 

 ity, and equally desirable for table or stock. It keeps 

 well, and is a fine market sort. 



Sweet German.— 

 This variety is very 

 popular in many sec- 

 tions, notably so in the 

 New England States. It 

 I partakes largely of the 

 1 nature of the ruta baga, 

 and should be sown a 

 month earlier than the 

 flat turnips. The flesh 

 is white, hard, firm, and 

 sweet, and it keeps 

 nearly as well as the 

 ruta baga. Highly rec- 

 omended for winter and 

 Sweet German. qoing use. 



Seven Top, — Cultivated extensively in the south for 

 the tops, which are used for greens. It is very hardy, 

 and will grow all winter, but does not produce a good 

 bulb, and is only recommended for the tops. 



Early Yellow Finland. 



YELLOW-FLESHED SORTS. 



Early Yellow Finland. — An early, yellow-fleshed 

 variety, of beautiful form, medium size, flat shape. The 

 flesh is remarkably fine and close grained, and of rich, 

 sugary flavor. A most excellent early, garden variety, 

 and said to be never troubled by worms eating the roots. 



Early Yellow Malta. 



Early Yellow Malta. — This is a beautiful, symmet- 

 rical, early variety, of medium size. Skin very smooth, 

 bright orange yellow ; flesh pale yellow, fine grained, 

 and exceedingly rich and buttery. Foliage small, and 

 bulbs can be grown quite close together. One of the 

 best yellow summer turnips in every respect. 



Orange Jelly, or Robertson's Golden Ball. — Un- 

 doubtedly among the most delicate and sweetest yellow- 

 fleshed turnip yet introduced. Not of large size, but 

 firm, hard, and of most excellent flavor. Keeps well, and 

 as a table variety, has no superior. 



Purple Top Yellow Aberdeen, — Roots medium 

 size, round form ; flesh pale yellow, tender and sugary ; 

 hardy and productive, and keeps well. It is an oM, 

 esteemed variety , considered as approaching very nearly 

 to the ruta baga in hardiness and firmness of texture. 



Large Amber Globe. — One of the best varieties, 

 either for table use or for a field crop for stock. Fle«h
