1935 SPRING AND FALL THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. ^ YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
TURNIPS AND RUTABAGA OR SWEDES 
1 Oz. for 150 Feet of row; 1 Lb. per Acre 
TURNIPS 
Along in June each year we receive numerous 
orders for these Seeds that should have been 
sent with early orders. Nearly everybody fails 
to include Turnip and Rutabaga Seed with the 
regular order on account of their not being 
wanted until late in the summer. The result is 
when ready to plant you do not have the seed, so 
go without. Include all you are going to need 
with your first order; you are then sure of hav¬ 
ing plenty of good seed when planting time comes. 
I am going to make this little personal appeal 
to the fellows in the extreme North. Montana 
North Dakota, Northern Minnesota, Northern 
Wisconsin, in fact, all of that strip of territory 
across the northern part of the United States 
where root crops, such as rutabagas, turnips, 
carrots, etc., grow to perfection, where you can 
produce a greater yield than in any other sec¬ 
tion of the United States, where they will out- 
yield the potato crop, and where they will bring 
equally as much money if you grow them in 
quantities as your best acre of potatoes. 
For feeding stock in Fall or Winter there is 
nothing superior to Turnips or Rutabagas, as 
they are much liked by all kinds of stock and 
serve to keep them in good condition. We can¬ 
not too earnestly recommend farmers to in¬ 
crease their sowings largely, for we are sure the 
crop will prove remunerative. 
Purple or Red Top Strap Leaf 
Flat; fine flavor and one of the most popular 
varieties grown, and when sown late it is one of 
our best varieties, an excellent keeper. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs. $2.25. 
Extra Early White Milan 
Extra early turnip, in which the extreme earli¬ 
ness, small top and tap root of the Purple Top 
Milan are united with the clear, white skin and 
flesh. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; l / 4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 
5 lbs., $2.40. 
Russian Rutabaga 
Gurney’s Purple Top White 
Globe Turnip 
This is an all-season Turnip; is sweet from the 
time it is large enough to use until the following 
spring; size above medium. 
This new English Turnip was recommended to 
us by one of the largest turnip specialists as 
the best ever originated. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 14 
lb., 25c; 1 lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $2.50. 
Purple Top Yellow Rutabaga 
Best variety of Swedish turnip in cultivation. 
Hardy and productive; flesh yellow, of solid tex¬ 
ture, sweet and well flavored; shape slightly ob¬ 
long; terminates abruptly with no side or bot¬ 
tom roots; color deep purple above, and bright 
yellow under the ground; leaves small, light 
green, with little or no neck; the most perfect in 
form, the richest in flavor, and the best in every 
respect. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; l / 4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 
60c; 5 lbs., $2.15. 
RUTABAGAS 
Krasnoselski Russian 
On our trial grounds for past three seasons 
this gave the best satisfaction and produced tire 
largest yield of any of the rutabagas. This 
made an extra large percentage of good-sized 
rutabagas, bright in color and of excellent 
quality for table use. This will take the place of 
older varieties on account of the increased yield 
and quality of the fruit. Pkt., 7c; oz., 15c; Vi 
lb., 30c; 1 lb., 70c; 5 lbs., $2.75. 
New Tobacco, Tom Sutton 
Grow Them—Smokes for yourself on your 
own farm. 
Not being an expert on tobacco myself, 1 will 
have to give you the originator’s description, 
and the experience of the boys around here who 
use tobacco. This tobacco originated in Min¬ 
nesota, is extremely early, yields wonderfully, 
and if l am to believe the fellows who use it, it is 
of remarkably fine quality. The originator says 
of it; "I feel that 1 have perfected as nearly a 
perfect tobacco for the northwest as it is pos¬ 
sible to grow. It is unequaled as a pipe and cigar 
tobacco. My crop was all right to cut before 
frost this year. Stock four to six feet high, with 
as many as 24 large leaves on a stalk. Pkt., 6c; 
y 2 oz., 25c; 1 oz., 40c; 'A lb., $1.00. 
Prize Winners

Tomato Seed, but how good. In buying Tomato Seed from us you are getting the Gurney 
Quality, which means the very best product. 
There are no better strains of any of the varieties that we are offering, and the constantly increasing

smoothest and best shipping of any.
