TURNIP 



For early use, sow the small 

 sorts as soon as the ground can bo 

 worked in the spring, in drills 14 

 inches apart, the Rutabagas 30 

 inches. As the seed is very fine, 

 it should be covered but slightly. 

 • xcepting in very dry weather. Select light, and, if possible, new 

 soil and manure with plaster and ashes or phosphates, Should the 

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

 be 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 winter feeding. 



GRIFFITH & TURNER CO.'S 

 IMPROVED PURPLE TOP. 



Ycllow-floshed. A standard field 

 variety for stock and fine for family 

 use. This splendid Swede is the 

 hardiest, most productive and most 

 nutritious variety in cultivation.

G. & T. CO.'S WHITE ROCK. — 



Though sometimes called a turnip, 

 this 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 desirable sort for market 

 gardeners.

PURPLE-TOP 



RUTABAGA. 



Second Drop Southern 

 Grown Seed Potatoes 



Are the product of the Maine-grown 

 stock put on cold storage in April 

 and kept until July or August and 

 planted in the South for a late seed 

 crop and the result from that plant- 

 ing stored away in the fall for next 

 season's use. 



The advantage derived from second 

 seed over first crop is that they do 

 not sprout or shrivel, or lose any of 

 their vigor through the winter, hav- 

 ing been checked by frost before ma- 

 turity; they lie dormant, ready to 

 grow vigorously when planted. They 

 rarely send up more than one sprout; 

 this may divide into several brandies. ' 

 The consequence is that all the 

 growth goes into the tubers, which 

 grow to full marketable size 1 2 to 15 

 davs earlier than ordinary seed. 



CROWN JEWEL. — This i« 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. Ask 

 for prices. 



IRISH COBBLER (New) are great 

 for the trucker. A splendid early 

 sort; fine, white and prolific, produc- 

 ing large crops of handsome, smooth 

 tubers. Ask for prices. 



Potato prices are subject to change 

 without notice. Special prices quoted 

 on application. Owing to the high 

 price of barrels we are shipping pota- 

 toes in barrel sacks.
