TURNIP. 



Early Purple Top Munich 



A distinct variety of recent introduction. It 

 occupies the same place among turnips that the 

 Egyptian does among the beet" family, that of 

 being the earliest of all. The entire crop can 

 frequently be dug two weeks before any other 

 variety. Its flesh is snowy white, and has an 

 excellent flavor, but becomes bitter with age. 

 This variety is chiefly valuable for first crop. 



Per packet, 5 cents; oz. 10 cents; 2 oz. 15 

 cents; X 1^. 25 cents; lb. 80 cents. 



Early Yellow Montmagny.

Early Yellow Montmagny 



A new early sort; the most beautiful of the 

 yellow fleshed'*varieties. Leaves medium sized, 

 green, stained with purple; bulb oval, medium 



sized, clear yellow, stained with bright purple 

 at the top; flesh yellow, fine grained, sweet 

 and tender. Among the earliest, and prom- 

 ises to be an exceedingly popular sort. 



Per packet, 5 cents; oz. 10 cents; 2 oz- 15 

 cents; % lb. 25 cents; lb. 80 cents. 



An annual which sows itself in the fall, 

 about the middle of September, lies dormant 

 all winter; in spring it commences to sprout 

 as soon as the water gets warm, reaching the 

 surface during the first half of June. It grows 

 very rapidly in one to eight feet of water, rip- 

 ens late in August or early in September. It 

 should be planted in the fall, before ice forms, 

 broadcast, from a boat, in two or three feet of 

 water having a mud bottom. It has been 

 successfully planted, through the ice in winter 

 and in the spring, but it succeeds best when 

 planted in the fall. 



As an attraction for wild fowl it cannot be 

 equalled. We would call the attention of sports- 

 men, particularly to this fact. In large ponds and 

 lakes it purifies the water, affords a refuge for 

 the small fry from the large fi.sh, as well as 

 furnishing the small fry plenty of food from 

 the animalculae on the stalks. For planting in 

 fish ponds it is especially desirable. It also 

 does well along the shores of maishes, and 

 makes a good hay. In the south, two crops 

 can be cut, and all cattle are verj^ fond of it.

(SOR-GHUM HAB^APEl^iSB;.) 

 One of the most valuable forage plants of 

 recent introduction. It is already very popu- 

 lar in the Southern States, and it is claimed 

 will come into universal use in all parts of the 

 United States when known. It is perennial, a 

 rapid grower, wtry nutritious, being eagerly de- 

 voured by all kinds of stock, comes early in- 

 spring, grows until the frosts cut it down in the 

 fall; stands the drought better than any grass, 

 having long, cane-like roots which penetrate 

 the soil for moisture; superior both as a graz- 

 ing and hay grass; has abundance of roots 

 which decay, thereby enriching the ground, 

 rather than exhausting it as Timothy does; be- 

 longing to the sorghum family, it contains 

 much saccharine, which is an important factor 

 in the food of stock. It will grow on any land 

 where corn will grow. 



On lands that will produce a bale of cotton 



to the acre, four or six tons of hay can be cut 



per annum, cutting three or four times. 



Per lb. 60 cts., postpaid; $6.00 per bu. of 



25 lbs., by express or freight, not prepaid.
