LANDRETHS’ SEEDS ARE SOLD FROM A PACKET TO A CARLOAD 
TURNIP—Continued 
Bloomsdale Swede 
Pomeranian White Globe—70 Days 
Shape round, size large, solid, pure white, smooth, 
quick in growth for a large turnip, producing a large 
weight. Very productive; often 30 to 40 tons to 
the acre; used extensively for stock feeding, as well 
as for the table; popular in the South. 
White Egg—60 Days 
A sort forming oval roots the shape of an egg, in an 
incredibly short period after sowing. Roots are 
medium size, flesh very white, firm and sweet. 
Usually about 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches 
long when fit to eat. 
YELLOW FLESHED VARIETIES 
Aberdeen or Yellow Scotch—70 Days 
This Turnip is highly recommended for cattle. 
Roots yellow with green top, flesh yellow. It is a 
ranker grower and coarser and later than the Amber 
Globe which we offer, but we recommend it most 
highly for dairy purposes. 
AMBER GLOBE GREEN CROWNED—70 Days 
This we introduced in 1863 and it is almost indis¬ 
pensable in every household. It is a vigorous, 
free grower, valuable for both table and cattle 
feeding, productive and an excellent keeper. We 
can say without hesitancy it is the best yellow fleshed 
Turnip on the market today. Roots are large with 
green tops and globular shaped. The skin is yellow, 
except at the top, which is green. The flesh is light 
yellow, of fine texture and very sweet and when 
cooked, more closely resembles Rutabaga than any 
other Turnip on the market. 
Amber Globe Red Crowned—70 Days 
A Bloomsdale selection from the older Green 
Crowned Amber Globe. The same in every respect 
as the Green except it has an outside red crown and 
for this reason it is preferred by some market 
gardeners, as they like its appearance in the basket. 
Golden Ball or Orange Jelly—60 Days 
Cut leaved, small tops, an excellent fine-textured, 
smooth-skinned, early orange and yellow fleshed 
variety. 
RUTABAGA 
BLOOMSDALE SWEDE—90 Days —See photo. 
The Bloomsdale Swede is the parent of all neckless 
Rutabaga, called by some Improved Long Island 
Swede, quite wonderful in its fine breeding. It is a 
yellow globular or ovoid shaped, Rutabaga, large 
size, the finest texture and flavor, a rich, creamy 
yellow, with a purple top, and absolutely free of 
neck—a good keeper. Undoubtedly the best of the 
Rutabagas. 
Budlong Breadstone or Sweet German—90 Days 
A white fleshed Rutabaga, is stump rooted, fibrous 
outside; very hardy; a long keeper. 
LANDRETHS’ IMPROVED PURPLE TOP 
YELLOW FLESHED—90 Days 
A hardy, oval-rooted sott, a heavy cropper. Flesh 
yellow, with a purple crown. 
Market Garden or Long Island Swede—90 Days 
Similar to Bloomsdale Swede, but not as large in 
form. Grown very largely by market gardeners 
for table use; also for cattle. 
WINTER TURNIPS FOR GREENS 
Dixie Land—50 Days 
A form of Turnip for winter greens. Produces 
large foliage of light blue-green color. An exceed¬ 
ingly good variety. The roots, however, are not 
good for eating, only the tops being used. 
Seven Top or Southern Prize—50 Days 
This Turnip is used entirely for greens and salad. 
It may be left standing in the open ground during 
Winter as far north as Philadelphia. In the Spring 
in the Southern States it yields an abundant foliage 
for boiling with cured meat and is in much demand. 
It is principally cultivated in the Southern States 
and is a great favorite as greens for stock. It is 
very hardy.
