TABLE TURNIPS 



Early White Milan Turnip. An extra early variety. The bulb 

 forms very rapidly, making but few and small leaves. It is 

 eminently adapted for early spring and summer planting, and 

 if sown at monthly intervals will furnish a continuous supply of 

 the most tender and delicately flavored Turnips; the root is of 

 medium size, very handsome, smooth and of a clear ivory-white 

 both inside and out. The fiesh is fine-grained, tender and of 

 mild, sweet flavor, it never becomes pithy or stringy. It will 

 undoubtedly find a welcome in all gardens, as, in addition to the 

 heavy crop assured by its adaptability for close planting, it 

 is fit for use at least a week earlier than any other white variety 

 in cultivation. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. ^£ lb., $2.00 lb. 



Extra Early Purple Top Milan. The earliest Turnip in culti- 

 vation; the color is bright reddish purple above ground and 

 clear white underneath; the leaves are few and small, which 

 allows it to be planted very close. The flesh is white, free from 

 stringiness and of mild flavor; unsurpassed for early use. Price, 

 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 50c. }4 lb., $1.75 lb.

 early table Turnip; bulbs, small, smooth and round, with white 

 skin and sparkling white flesh, crisp, tender and sweet. It is a 

 fitting companion to the yellow-fleshed Golden Ball offered be- 

 low, and equally early, maturing in six weeks from sowing. {See

 qualities are unsurpassed; texture fine-grained and tender; flavor

HENDERSON'S 



:: :: Golden Heart Ruta Baga :: :: 



Invaluable for garden culture. It is entirely distinct from 

 all other varieties. The bulb grows as clean and smooth as a Tur- 

 nip. The flesh is remarkably fine in grain and of delicious flavor; 

 but the most distinct improvement of all lies in its wonderful 

 earliness, as it matures in 56 days from time of sowing. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt, 15c. oz., 35c. 34 lb., $1.00 lb. 



" The Golden Heart Ruta Bagas are the finest I have ever had. I gave some 

 to a neighbor who liked them so well, that he will grow Golden Heart exclusively 

 next spring." W. I. BROOKS, R.F.D. 1, Box 9, Glastonbury, Conn. 



Calyer's Purple Top Ruta Baga 



This variety is as large and productive as the Long Island Im- I 

 proved but differs in form, being top-shaped and therefore more 

 easily dug; the bulbs are smooth and very attractive; tops purple, 

 lower part rich cream color; yellow flesh, firm, sweet and of' 

 excellent quality. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. }4: lb., 75c. lb.
