Southern Seven Top 
Cultivated extensively and with profit in the 
South for the tops, which are used and are most 
excellent for greens. It is very hardy, will grow 
all winter, but will not produce a good root. In 
many sections of the South it is also a favorite 
green feed for stock, and its use as a pasture 
crop like rape is quite general. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

inches long by 2 V 2 inches in diameter and grow 
partly above the ground. The color is pure white 
with a little shade of green on top. Well flavored 
and of rapid growth. Fine for Fall and early 
Winter use. Very valuable also as a soil en- 
richer; can be sown broadcast in Fall on stubble 
ground, will grow on poor, wornout soils, and if 
plowed under will enrich it as much as a crop of 
clover. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10 c; 2 oz. 14c; Vi lb. 20 c; 
1/2 lb. 35c; lb. 60c; 2 lbs. $1.10, postpaid.
