Ttirijips. 
A valuable garden and; farm crop. Good Turnips are 
almost as desirable for table use as Potatoes. For winter 
use sow last of July or first of August. Turnips may be 
sown late in ground that has been cropped with Peas or 
Beans early in the season. 
Scarlet Kashmyr— This Turnip has a striking resemblance 
to a.large Radish, being as large and uniform in shape 
and crisp as a Radish, and of the most excellent quality. 
It matures almost as quickly as the earliest Radishes, be¬ 
ing several weeks ahead of any other Turnip, and when 
cooked is of unsurpassed quality. Pkt., 10c.; 3 pkts., 25c. 
Early Ivory— A sort of peculiar value, owing to its extreme 
earliness. It grows almost as quickly as a Radish, and 
to a great extent resembles a large white winter Radish. 
It is sweet and of first-class quality. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 40c. 
Ear!y Flat Dutch— Clear, white skin, and juicy, crisp flesh. 
A fine sort for either market or home garden. Pkt., 5c.; 
oz., loc.: lb., 45c. 
Purple Top White Globe— A large Turnip of fine keeping- 
qualities. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; lb., 50c. 
Large Yellow Globe—A large round Turnip, with deep, 
yellow flesh and fine, firm grain; very sweet and good. 
Pkt., 5c.; oz., loc.; lb., 50c. 
Estra Early Hflilars— The earliest strap-leaved variety. A 
smooth, medium-sized variety, with a bright purple top. 
Fine quality and good keeper. Yery delicious. Pkt., 
5c.; oz., 10c.; lb., 75c. 
White Egg— Beautiful white, egg-shaped sort, of rapid 
growth. Flesh firm and solid, fine-grained, sweet, and of 
very mild flavor. Fine either for early or late variety. 
Grows to good size. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10.; lb., 50c. 
Yennoji— The Tennoji Turnip is a mammoth flat variety of 
excellent quality. It is impossible to say just how large 
it will grow under favorable conditions, but the Japanese 
claim is something incredible. Here in our trial grounds,, 
under the disadvantages of a crowded test-bed, it has 
grown to the largest dimensions we have ever seen in a 
Turnip. Finest seed, just.imported from Japan, 10c. per 
pkt.; 3 pkts. for 25c.; oz., 35c. 
Rhta-baga, or Sw’ede. 
These are grown largely for stock feeding, as well as for 
table use. For either purpose they are a profitable crop. 
Garter’s Elephant—A new Turnip of great size and a won¬ 
derful cropper. In shape it is beautifut and perfect and 
remarkably uniform, of quick growth and excellent 
quality. Owing to its very large size it will probably 
turn out 50 per cent, more bushels to the acre than any 
other, and is, therefore, the most profitable variety for 
large crops, especially for growing for stock feeding. 
Pkt., 5c,; oz., 10c.; lb., 80c. 
Bread stone—A beautiful white Ruta-baga, so remarkably 
tender that it will cook in fifteen minutes, while the 
flavor is uncommonly sweet and delicate. It is also a 
wonderful keeper, not growing pithy and dry like the 
ordinary Turnips when kept in the cellar over winter. 
Flesh perfectly white, fine grained, tender and sweet, 
without the strong taste so common among Ruta-bagas. 
Finest of all table varieties. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; lb., Sl.oo. 
Improved American Ruta-baga — Large, smooth and 
handsome, quick in growth, tender and fine in quality, 
A superb standard sort. Pkt., 5c.; oz., loc,; lb., 60c. 
Golden Fig— Fruit small, beautifully smooth, and almost 
incredibly productive. The flesh is solid, thick-meated, 
very sweet and pleasant, and are just right for preserves 
or sweet pickles, or for drying in sugar like figs. In fact, 
it dries well and is an admirable fruit when dry, fully 
equal to the fig. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 50c. 
Peach—A distinct, medium sized Tomato, of very peculiar 
but pleasant flavor. The fruit of this Tomato is about 
the size and shape of a peach, and is of a soft, peachy-red 
color. Pkt., 5c.; oz.. 20c. 
THEE. 
Station Tree— This variety originated by crossing the 
French Tree with Alpha, the result being a very distinct 
variety, with thick, curly, almost black-green foliage 
and great numbers of handsome, solid fruit, with the 
fewest seeds of any known variety. Tomatoes are of 
very fine quality, and this sort is especially recommended 
for forcing, as it does extra well in pots, the earliest of 
all, and being of fine upright growth it requires but little 
room. Pkt., 10C.; 3 pkts., 25c.
