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 
June; for Fall and Winter crop, sow in July and August. The Rutabagas are grown for feed- 
ing stock, and are 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.

handsome appearance; somewhat flattened, white 
with purple top. Two weeks earlier than Purple 
Top Strap Leaf, good for Spring or Fall planting. 
Bulb forms very rapidly. y 4 lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
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 hand- 
some globe, and is especially 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. y 4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., 
$2.50.

ably more extensively planted than any other :

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. y 4 lb., 20c; i lb., 55c; 5 lbs., I 
$2.50. 
SEVEN TOP. — Grown extensively in the South i 
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. y 4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Rutabagas 
Rutabagas, Swedish or Russian Turnips, are 
extensively grown for a farm crop. The roots 
are close-grained, hard, and will endure a con- 
siderable degree of cold without injury if pre- 
served in a pit or cellar during the winter. Ruta- 
bagas are superior to any other vegetable root 
grown for cattle, horses and sheep. The animals 
thrive and fatten on rutabagas, carrots, and man- 
gels fed in combination with hay. 
AMERICAN PURPLE TOP. — A very large, 
globe-shaped Rutabaga, yellow with purple top. 
Hardy, vigorous growing variety of excellent 
quality for the table and one of the best for stock 
feed. H lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25.
