Mixed Turnips 
Turnip 
For early use, sow as soon as ground opens in Spring, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart; thin 
out to 6 or 9 inches in the rows. For succession, continue to sow every two weeks until [une; for 
Fall and Winter crop, sow in July and August. The Rutabagas are grown for feeding stock, and 
arc also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in November, or before severe frosts; cut off 
tops within an inch of the crown, store in cool cellar or pit, or pile in a conical form out-of-doors, 
in dry ground; cover carefully with long straw, and finish by earthing up with about 12 to 15 inches 
of earth, leaving a trench around the heap to carry off water. One ounce of seed for 150 feet of 
drill ; one pound for an acre. 
EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN Of hand 
some appearance; somewhat flattened, white with pur- 
ple top. Two weeks earlier than Purple Top Strap Leaf; 
good for Spring or Fall planting. Bulb forms very 
rapidly. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 65c lb., $2.25. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE.- A fine table Turnip. 
It is an early and heavy cropper, as well as a good 
keeper. The bulb is a very handsome globe, and is es- 
pecially in demand among market gardeners. This is 
also a good Turnip for stock feed, as it will grow to 
a large size if left for that purpose. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
li lb., 50c; lb., $1.95. 
PURPLE TOP STRAP LEAF. — This is probably more 
extensively planted than any other variety. It is a 
very early flat Turnip of medium size, the lower portion 
white and the upper part reddish purple. The flesh is 
fine grained and sweet. A splendid table variety and 
desirable also for stock feed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 
50c; lb., $1.75. 
SEVEN TOP. — Grown extensively in the South for 
the tops, which are used for greens. It is very hardy 
and will grow all winter. As it does not produce a 
good root, it is only recommended for the tops. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 
Rutabagas 
Rutabagas, Swedish or Russian Turnips, are exten- 
sively grown for a farm crop. The roots are close- 
grained, hard, and will endure a considerable degree 
of cold without injury if preserved in a pit or cellar 
during the winter. Rutabagas are superior to any other 
vegetable root grown for cattle, horses and sheep. The 
animals thrive and fatten on rutabagas, carrots, and 
mangels fed in combination with hay. 
AMERICAN PURPLE TOP.— A very large, globe 
shaped Rutabaga, yellow with purple top. Hardy, vig- 
orous growing variety of excellent quality for the table 
and one of the best for stock feed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
% lb., 65c; lb., $2.00.
