DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



Large White Flat Norfolk. — This is 



the standard sort for field culture, and is extens- 

 ively 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 

 South-West, where the tops are used for greens. 



Red Top Flat IS orfolk. — 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 little in shape from the Strap Leaved, 

 except in the form of the leaf, though not of so 

 fine a quality. 



Large White Globe. — A variety grown 

 almost exclusively for feeding stock ; is one of 

 the most productive kinds ; in good, rich soil, 

 the roots will frequently 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. 



Pnrple Top Yellow Aberdeen. — Roots, 



medium size, round form ; flesh, pale yellow, 

 tender and sugary ; hardy and productive, and 

 keeps well. It is an old esteemed variety, con- 

 sidered as approaching very nearly to the Ruta 

 Baga in hai-dness and firmness of texture. 



Orange Jelly, or Robertson's Golden 

 Ball. — Undoubtedly 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. 



Yellow Swede, or Rnta Baga. — 



This and the following, form a distinct 

 class, and should be sown at least a month 

 earlier. Shape, oblong ; dull reddish 

 color above ground, and yellow under- 

 neath ; is hardier than the common Tur- 

 nip, and will keep solid till Spring. 



Carter's Imperial Hardy, Pur- 

 ple Top, Yellow Ruta Baga. — A 

 most excellent sort for either table use or 

 feeding stock. Flesh, yellow, solid, firm.
