Japanese Foliage Turnip 
A Hot Weather Turnip. Edible Tops and Roots 
If you like greens and sweet tender turnips you can have both by planting this new Japanese variety. Trials have shown it to 
he superior in many respects to most of the varieties generally cultivated in America. The leaves grow upright, about two feet 
high when fully developed, but should be cut before they attain full growth. Early cuttings will allow another and probably two 
cuttings later. During a warm growing season it will be ready to cut in about four weeks. The leaves are much like those of 
broad leaved mustard, are of rich dark green color and are of delicate flavor and crisp and tender. If in gathering for greens, 
plants are left in the row about 4 inches apart, they will produce an abundant crop of roots which will remain tender and of 
excellent quality for table use throughout the entire growing season. The roots are pure white, between flat and globe shape. 
This is a most desirable and valuable variety for growing in both the North and the South. It is rapidly taking the place of 
Seventop in the South, as it is relatively free of insect pests and diseases, therefore being more easily grown and easier to clean. 
Another attractive feature of this variety is that it will grow and thrive in hot, dry weather. Pkt., 8c; oz., 12c; 14 lb., 25c; 
lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.20; 5 lbs., $2.75; 10 lbs., $4.90, postpaid.

“Plants from Your Seeds 
are Hardier” 
“For years my only hobby has been my 
garden; our elevation is 6,000 ft. and we 
can expect a frost every month in the year, 
so gardening has its difficulties. I have 
tried seeds from practically every seed house 
in America and it is an absolute fact that 
the plants from your seeds are hardier. 
People say that seeds are seeds if purchased 
from a reliable house, but I have proven to 
my own satisfaction from a good many years’ 
experience that this is not the case. I have 
not fully decided the extent of my garden 
this year, but when I do will order all of 
my seeds from you.”—Solon B. Clark, 
Mackay, Idaho.
