PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE SELECT 
Our select Purple Top produces beautiful, globe shaped 
turnips, clear, bright purple at the top and snow-white at 
the bottom without small side roots. Flesh sweet, never bit¬ 
ter at all stages of growth. Absolutely the finest strain to 
be had. Oz. 5c; lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.00, prepaid. 
JAPANESE TURNIP YORI 
A flattened globe, white in and out, ready three weeks after 
sowing. Stays mild and sweet at all times even in hot weather, 
the earliest of ALL turnips. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 80c. 
TURNIP SHOGOIN 
Produces globe shaped roots with smooth skin and upright 
foliage furnishing the highest class of "greens.” This is the finest 
foliage turnip in existence and we have an extra selected high class 
strain with leaves strictly upright and closely “bunched up.” Pkt. 
5c; oz. 10c; lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50, prepaid. 
TOMATOES UNDER GLASS 
In the North seed is generally started in January. No use 
to start earlier. During the dark winter months tomatoes will 
not set fruit, the blossoms fall off. 
Sow in flats, transplant into 2%’s when the plants are 
about 4 inches high, set them 15 inches each way, keep well 
watered and growing fast till they get to blooming. While 
in bloom water sparingly until the tomatoes set. When you 
get five clusters on the plants top them and water plenti¬ 
fully. Be careful in watering. Marglobe will not mildew 
even if the walks in the greenhouse are wet, but to be suc¬ 
cessful with most other sorts, Marvelous Globe and Cracker- 
jack included, you must grow them in a house with glass 
tight so there will be no drip and your walks must be dry. 
Some growers keep their tomatoes wet from start to finish 
which is a mistake. Watering, as we say, will result in a 
splendid crop. Crackerjack and Ideal Forcing runs about 
five fruits to the pound. For the earliest sales, while prices 
are highest, grow small fruited sorts like Crackerjack or 
Ideal Globe, for a later crop Marglobe or Marvelous Globe 
pay better. 
SURE CROP TOP TURNIP 
Yields a big crop of “greens” in hot and dry weather and 
is the only variety grown for tops that will come through, 
when sown during hot summer months from June to Septem¬ 
ber, when Seven Top is out of the question. The tops of 
Sure Crop are of dense, robust, upright, compact growth and 
practically free from insects and louse. It is claimed that 
once tried, prepared for table, it is preferred to other turnip 
greens, because the leaves of Sure Crop are of milder taste, 
fine flavored, tender and free from acidity and bitterness. Of 
much quicker growth than Seven Top. Roots edible, globe 
shaped with pearly white skin and white, mild, sweet flesh. 
Oz. 5c; 1 lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $4.00. 
TURNIPS AND RUTABAGA 
CULTURE—One-half ounce for 100 feet of row, one and 
a quarter pounds per acre. If sown broadcast use two pounds 
to the acre. 
For best results and highest prices sow as soon as the 
ground is open. Drill into rows foot apart and thin to 4 
inches apart in rows. Frequent cultivation warms up the 
ground and hastens the crop to maturity. For general crop 
turnips can be sown at any time until the latter part of 
August. 
RUTABAGA should be planted 18 inches between the 
rows and thinned out to 6 inches in the row. Requires long¬ 
er season to mature than is the case with common turnips. 
The most desirable early turnip to grow is SNOWBALL. 
It is large and of the highest quality. The best late Turnip 
is PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE.
