CULTURE—Plant some for early and some for late 
crops. The latter part of July or first part of August is 
time for late planting. 
803— EXTRA EARLY MILAN. A very early spring tur¬ 
nip. Roots flat, white with purple on top. Flesh white 
and fine grained. Sweet and tender before hot, dry 
weather. 
804— EARLY WHITE MILAN. About the same as Ex¬ 
tra Early Milan but white. 
811—JAPANESE (Improved Shogoin). One claim made 
for this turnip is that lice do not bother it. However, we 
find they do some. It is pure white, globe shape and 
sweet. Tops fine for greens. 
807 — PURPLE TOP 
GLOBE. Can be used for eith¬ 
er early spring or July plant¬ 
ing. Yields heavy crops. Roots 
large, globe white with pur¬ 
ple top. Very tender, crisp 
and sweet. Flesh white. Fine 
to store for winter. 
806—PURPLE TOP STRAP 
LEAF. Something like Purple 
Top Globe but roots flat. Used 
mostly for late planting. 
805 — S N O W BA LL. Mid¬ 
season, globe shape, white, of 
good quality. purple top globe 
809— WHITE EGG. Roots egg shape, good size, smooth, 
fine grained and of good quality. Main crop. 
810— WHITE GLOBE. A large late, with some small 
side roots. Rather coarse and used mostly for stock on 
account of heavy yield. 
808—RUTABAGA, AMERICAN PURPLE TOP. Has 
smooth leaves like cabbage. Yellow with purple top and 
yellow flesh. Not much of a success in southern Iowa 
but in the north quite valuable. 
ASPARAGUS AND KOHL RABI 
420—YELLOW PONDEROSA. Very large. Something- 
like Ponderosa but not quite the size and quality. 
401 — RED HEAD. A good 
faithful variety that has pro¬ 
duced some wonderful crops for 
you. Better now than when we 
introduced it years ago. We 
have taken good care of it, care¬ 
fully selecting the stock seed 
each year. Early, heavy yield¬ 
ing and bears a long time. Round 
smooth, ripens evenly and sel¬ 
dom cracks around the stem. 
Firm, meaty and has a fine 
sweet flavor. 
406 — NEW YELLOW PRE¬ 
SERVING. A compact bush not 
over half as large as the old 
Yellow Pear, produces more to- redhead 
matoes and much earlier. The 
tomato is some larger. The little vines are simply loaded. 
A few plants will make all the preserves you can use. 
We have very little seed but as long as it lasts, 50 seeds 100. 
INSECTICIDES 
NEW EVERGREEN SPRAY. 20% stronger than “Ever¬ 
green”. Harmless to people, animals, birds, chickens and 
plants but kills insects. Use for many of the common 
insects especially aphis or plant lice. Easily prepared. 
Simply add water according to directions. 
6 Ounce Can $1.00, Postpaid; 16 Ounce Can, $2.00 Post¬ 
paid. 
201—ASPARAGUS, WASHINGTON RUST RESIST¬ 
ANT. Everybody ought to have a row of a hundred plants 
anyway. Trenching unnecessary. Cultural directions on 
each packet of seed. Five or ten cents worth of seed will 
grow you all the plants you need. Or you can buy the 
plants and have it one year sooner. We consider this 
variety best. It is early and has big tender shoots. Pkt., 
50; oz. 100; >4 lb. 350; 1 lb. $1.00. 
225—KOHL RABI. White Vienna. Looks like a cross 
between cabbage and turnips, and is better than either 
one. Grown like cabbage. Pkt., 50; oz., 200.
