TOMATOES—Continued. 
Early Detroit. 83 days. A second early, medium sized, 
smooth, handsome, globe-shaped purple fruited variety.

Beauty, being very prolific; thicker. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; M 
lb., #1.25; J4 lb. #2.25; lb., #3.75, postpaid. 
Beauty. (Gold Seal Quality). 85 days. A hardy grower, very 
prolific; large, smooth and a glossy crimson with a tinge of 
purple; grows in clusters of four to six large fruits, retaining 
its splendid size throughout the entire season. Flesh is very 
firm, has a tough skin and few seeds; seldom rots or cracks 
after rain. Picked green, it will ripen nicely, making it a de¬ 
sirable shipping sort. A very satisfactory main crop tomato.

Turnips 
German—Weisse Rueben Spanish—Nabo 
Italian—Navone, Rapa. 
Culture: Turnip is one of the first seeds to be sown in the 
spring. As soon as the ground can be worked, spade or plow 
deeply, and prepare the surface finely, raking off all clods 
and stones. Sow the seeds at once in the freshly dug soil; sow 
very thinly 1 foot to 3 feet apart, or broadcast by raking the 
seeds into the soil one-half inch deep. When up, thin out to 
three inches apart. Sowings at intervals of 10 days can be made 
until the end of August. For winter use, sow from the middle 
of July to the end of August.

Purple Top White Globe. (Gold Seal Quality). 55 to 60 
days. This variety of turnip has increased in popularity and 
use faster than any other turnip, mainly due to three 
characteristics: 1st, fine appearance, being globe-shaped, 
flesh firm and white, skin smooth, pure white, except crown 
or upper half which is richly colored, maroon to deep 
purple. 2nd, it is exceptionally sweet and mild. Flesh is 
crisp, not stringy. Very desirable for market as well as home 
garden. 3rd, it is a quick grower and the yield is heavy; a 
good keeper. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; M lb., 35c; J4 lb., 65c; lb.,
