PURPLE TOP STRAP LEAF 
PURPLE TOP, STRAP-LEAF This is 
a standard early variety and is surpassed 
in earliness only by the Milan. It is of quick 
growth, and in our section is largely plant¬ 
ed both for market and stock feeding, as a 
large crop of fine bulbs can be grown for 
winter use from seed planted from Aug. 
15th to Sept. 1st. Bulbs are quite flat, four 
to six inches in diameter, with small bunch 
of short, strap-leaved foliage. The upper 
{ >ortion of the bulb is of a deep purplish red 
ower portion clear milky white. Flesh is 
fine grained, sweet, and tender; single 
small tap-root. 
TURNIP 
For early use, sow early as the ground 
opens in the spring, in drills from 12 to 15 
indies apart; thin out to 6 to 9 inches in the 
rows; soon as the first leaves appear, sprin¬ 
kle with soot, wood-ashes, air-slacked lime 
or Slug Shot to de stroy the black fly which 
will devour the plants if not attended to in 
time. For a fall and winter crop, sow in 
July or August. 1 oz. will sow 300 feet 
drill, one to two pounds per acre. 
POMERANEAN WHITE GLOBE. 
This is one of the most productive kind; 
in good rich soil, the roots will frequently 
grow to weigh twelve pounds; it is of the 
most perfect globe shape; skin white and 
smooth; leaves dark green and of a strong 
growth. 
LARGE YELLOW GLOBE. This var¬ 
iety grows to a large size, handsome, globu¬ 
lar shaped; color pale yellow with greenish 
top, leaves rather small and spreading. 
One of the best for a general crop, either 
for table use or stock; keeps hard and brit¬ 
tle untill late in the spring. 
RED TOP WHITE GLOBE. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. This 
grows very quickly to large size; roots even 
and regular in form and of most handsome 
appearance. The bulbs will measure six 
inches and more in diameter, being of per¬ 
fectly globe form; the upper portion is of 
rich purplish red, and the lower half clear 
creamy white. Flesh white, firm, and 
crisp, of mild flavor. It is an excellent 
keeper, and being so productive, is one of 
the best to grow for stock feeding. The 
plants, being of such large, strong growth 
should be thinned more severely than with 
small early sorts. This variety is very ex¬ 
tensively used for market growing. 
Purple Top Ruta Baga. The leading 
market variety, and principally grown for 
stock, as well as for family ure. Hardy, 
productive, flesh yellow, solid, sweet, fine 
grained and of good flavor.
