Lb. MLb. Oz. Pkt. 



PLUM-SHAPED YELLOW, 95 DAYS —Differing from the Pear-shaped Red in color $2 50 70 30 5 



PLUM-SHAPED RED. — Fruit 2 inches long by 1 inch diameter, used in pickling in unbroken 



form. Differing only from the preceding, the Yellow, in color, this being red 2 50 70 30 5 



GRAPE, CHERRY or CURRANT.— Fruit red, and borne in clusters like grapes; very desira-

ONE YELLOW SORT. 



GOLDEN TROPHY or GOLDEN QUEEN, 100 DAYS.— A bright yellow type of Trophy; 



large, early, solid and far better flavored than any of the red varieties 2 50 70 25 5 



Turnip— Shortest Crop for years. 



TEN WHITE-FLESHED SORTS. 



Three Ounces of Seed will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. Matures for Table in from 60 to 90 Days, 



According to Variety and Season. 



Turnip seed may be sown when the Peach is in bloom, or among the first seeds in early Spring; indeed, the only hope 

 of a successful Spring crop is in an early start, as otherwise the period of maturity extends into hot weather, when the bulb 

 becomes fibrous and pungent. Midsummer and early Autumn are the seasons for successful Turnip drilling, though 

 frequently the conditions of the soil then are not favorable to satisfactory vegetation. 



The seed of Cattle Turnips is always drilled in rows, while the early-maturing and surface-rooted Table Turnip is gen- 

 erally sown broadcast. We advise the sowing, either in drills or broadcast, of not less than three pounds to the acre to insure 

 a satisfactory stand. 



The Bloomsdale Swede, like other Ruta-Bagas, is slower in growth than the rough-leaved Turnips, but produces roots 

 more solid and more nutritious — less laxative and more fattening. The Ruta-Baga is a gross feeder and will do best with 

 20 to 25 tons of stable manure to the acre; when it cannot be obtained apply 500 pounds of superphosphate. 



EXTRA EARLY RED-CROWNED MILAN, 45 DAYS.— Undoubtedly the earliest Turnip in Lb. Lb. Oz. Pkt. 



cultivation. Very desirable in its early stages, but after it gets one and one-half inches 



in diameter it grows pithy $1 00 30 10 5 



EXTRA EARLY WHITE-CROWNED MILAN, 45 DAYS.— Similar to the Red Milan except 



in color. Useful in early stages of its growth. 1 10 30 10 5 



EARLY FLAT RED or PURPLE TOP (Strap-leaved), 60 DAYS.— The oldest standard red. 55 20 10 5 

 EARLY FLAT DUTCH (Strap-leaved).— Similar to the above, excepting it is white all over. 55 20 10 5 



Large Early Red Top Globe, 65 days.— '•^'SSrra^.t^^^^^^^^^^ 



and admired by all. A very much heavier producer than either of the preceding. We 



confidently recommend it as an acquitsition . No sort is its superior 70 25 10 5 



EARLY SNOWBALL (Extra Early).— This is a small white globe, very quick, earliest in 



maturity of its form and character. We highly recommend it 80 25 10 5 



JERSEY LILY, 65 DAYS.— Early, globular in form, very showy and desirable; all white. 



Recommended for private and market garden 80 25 10 5 



WHITE EGG. — A sort forming roots the shape and size of eggs in an incredibly short period 



after sowing. Flesh always palatable 80 25 10 5 



LAHDRETHS* SOUTHERN SNOW-WHITE GLOBE, 70 DAYS.— Color pure white; shape 

 round, size large, solid, quick in growth for a large Turnip. Producing a great weight 

 to the acre. In the Autumn and early Winter it is apt to be hard, but mellows hke an 

 Apple by keeping. We recommend this to stock breeders for early feedmg, also for 



sowing at seasons too late to succeed a crop of Ruta-Bagas 60 20 10 5 



COW-HORN (Large Cropper). — Tfiis variety is pure white, excepting a dash of green at the 



crown, and in shape is long like the Carrot 60 25 10 5
