RUTABAGA 
The varieties listed under this heading are all good keepers and are 
best for fall crops. Stored in a cool place, will keep all winter. 
Golden Ball. One of the most delicate yellow-fleshed Turnips to be had. Roots 
are medium-sized, round, smooth, and very deep yellow 
YELLOW GLOBE GREEN-TOP. Yellow-fleshed, globe-shaped, of medium 
to large size, smooth, light yellow with small green crown. 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of row 
Long Island Improved. Roots are globular in shape, pale yellow 
with a purple top; small foliage. This is the best sort for market, 
and its fine keeping quality makes it valuable for stock feed. 
Neckless. This new strain of American Yellow Purple-Top Rutabaga 
is distinct from any of its predecessors and is a money-maker. It 
is a comparatively short-topped strain without any neck, the scant 
leaves growing directly out of the top of the root. The roots them¬ 
selves are large and globe-shaped and very clean and free from 
fibrous rootlets. The flesh is of fine texture and of a golden yellow 
color. The crop matures in time to command good early prices.
