TURNIPS. 



RED TOP STRAP LEAF. 



An excellent food for human beings and live stock. H 

 Culture.— .Sow in drills or broadcast. The main Bowing is usually in July or August, as a second crop. The seeds should • 

 be about half an inch under the surface of the soil. Thin to 4 or 6 inches in the row. Well cultivated crops in drills will be* 

 far larger than broadcaBted crops. Kuta Hagas or Swedish turnips or Swedes should be planted a month earlier than common turnips, and 

 thinned to 6 or 8 inches in the row. Store In heaps covered tirst with straw and then with earth in the open held during winter. Use 2 pounds J 

 of seed to acre in drills or 2J 2 pounds broadcast. y 



RED TOP STRAP LEAF I sell 



enormous amounts of seed of this cel- 

 ebrated turnip every year. Philadel- 

 phia seedsmen for years past have 

 been accustomed to handle it by the 

 ton, consequently, it is not to be won- 

 dered at in the care I take to send out 

 only extra selected, carefully grown 

 stock. It is one of the best table and 

 stock turnips on the market, being 

 finegrained and of mild flavor. See 

 illustration. It is white below, with 

 a bright purple top; flesh white; 

 leaves short, narrow and erect. Will 

 mature In 8 or 9 weeks. A good crop- 

 per and an excellent keeper. Pkt.,

RED TOP WHITE GLOBE. - 

 This is one of the handsomest and 

 most salable turnips I know of. As a 

 profitable sort for market gardeners 

 It is unsurpassed. For the home gar- 

 den it is always desirable. It is a 

 large, rapid growing sort, with globu- 

 lar shaped roots. Flesh is pure white 

 of high quality and excellent flavor. 

 The skin is white and purple, the un- 

 der portion being white and the top 

 bright purple. See illustration. On 

 account of its shape it will outyield 

 any other sort and it is always a sure 

 cropper. Like Red Top Strap Leaf it 

 is one of my specialties, and the pre- 

 cautions I take in having only a 

 strictly first class strain has made many friends for 

 ing annually. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; \4 pound, 15 cents; pound, 4
