THE BEST VARIETIES FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



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 tur- 

 nips; the root is of medium size, very handsome smooth, 

 and of a clear ivory-white both inside and out. The 

 flesh is fine-grained, tender and of mild, sweet flavor; 

 it never becomes pithy and stringy. It will undoubtedly 

 find a welcome in our markets; as, in addition to the 

 heavy crop assured by its adaptability for close plant- 

 ing, it will be found to be fit for use at least a week 

 earlier than any other white variety in cultivation. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 20c. I lb., 70c. lb. 



Early l\ed-Top Strap Leaf Turnip. 



A popular variety of quick growth; round-flat, 4 

 to 5 inches in diameter; flesh white and of excellent 

 quality. Our stock is well selected for perfectly

 liable sort for early market. Price, 10c. oz., 15c. £ lb.,

Parisian Half-Long White Turnip. 



This new type from France is one of the best table 

 turnips we know of and most popular in the Parisian 

 markets. It is a small quick-growing — consequently 

 early — variety, 4 to 5 inches long by l| to 1J inches in 

 diameter; skin and flesh pure white; crisp, exceed- 

 ingly tender; free from stringiness and delightfully 

 mild in flavor. The foliage is small, leaf tops short 

 and of light green color. It is not only a splendid little 

 garden turnip, but is unrivaled for forcing under glass, 

 being less liable than any other sort to run to seed when 

 pushed. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., 80c. lb.

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND IMPROVED 



^PUKPLE-TOP KUTA BAGA 



Bred from the " American Purple Top," over which it is a great 

 improvement, it is twice the size of ordinary American stocks. In 

 a fair test on several Long Island farms, alongside some of the 

 best European and American varieties, it produced almost twice 

 the weight per acre of any other variety. Flesh a rich 

 yellow, solid and sweet, the quality very superior. It is 

 perfectly hardy, and a good keeper. (See cut.) 10c. oz. 

 20c. i ib., 50c. lb.

 Improved Ruta Bagas weighing over 12 lbs. each, raised 

 from your seed by ordinary field culture the past dry 

 season ; the variety is the best and the quality the very best 

 for table use as well as for stock."
