 our special varieties. The fruits are of a handsome globular shape

 the color for market or the exhibition table. It is an enormous 

 cropper, and the fruits are medium in size, averaging 4 ounces in 

 weight. The flavor is of the highest quality, — it was awarded first 

 prize for excellence of flavor at Glasgow International Exhibi-

 it yields comparatively few seeds. Dobbie's original pkts. 25 cts.

TURNIP 



Navet Nabo 



For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, but much larger crops are ob- 

 tained (particularly of the Rutabagas) by cultivating in drills 18 inches apart, and thinning to 6 inches in the drill. Sow in drills, one 

 pound to the acre ; broadcast, two to three pounds to the acre.

 perfectly formed round 

 white Turnip for garden use. Our stock has been continuously 

 selected for many years, resulting in a beautiful shape, with short 

 top and a single tap-root. Flesh snowy white, solid and mild in 

 flavor. This Turnip has probably been awarded more first prizes 

 than any other, and recent successes prove that it is still unsur- 

 passed for exhibition. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., ^{Ib. $1.25. 



Sutton's Scarlet Perfection, f o-- ''s fine color, striking
