TURNIP (Continued) 
COW HORN or LONG WHITE 
This variety is clear white, except a little shade of 
green at the top of the root, which is long and carrot¬ 
like in form, cylindrical but usually ending in a point, 
and slightly crooked. The roots are often twelve to 
fifteen inches long by about two and one-half inches 
in diameter and grow about three inches out of the 
ground. The flesh is fine grained and well flavored, 
and for table use is in best condition when the roots 
are about two inches in diameter. Desirable for stock 
feeding and has obtained considerable favor as a mar¬ 
ket sort. The variety is of very rapid growth and well 
adapted for fall and early winter use. Per pkt. 5c; 
oz. 10c; 2 ozs. 15c; Ya lb. 20c; lb. 50c, postpaid. 
ORANGE JELLY or GOLDEN BALL 
A distinct variety, one of the most delicately flavored of 
the yellow-fleshed turnips. The tops are small. The roots are 
medium sized, round, very smooth and with deeper yellow 
skin than most of this class. The flesh is firm, crisp and of 
most excellent quality. The roots are in best condition for 
table use when about three inches in diameter. This variety 
is of quick growth, adapted to spring as well as fall plant¬ 
ing, and keeps exceptionally well. Known also as Robert¬ 
son’s Golden Ball. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 2 oz. 15c; 
Ya lb. 20c; lb. 50c, postpaid. 
PURPLE TOP YELLOW ABERDEEN 
A medium sized, round, late maturing, long keeping 
yellow-fleshed turnip. Roots yellow with purple top. Flesh 
S ale yellow and of very firm texture, approaching the Ruta 
taga in this regard, but tender and sweet. Since it requires 
a longer time to mature, the seed should be sown about 
two weeks earlier than most sorts. It is hardy, productive 
and valuable for stock feeding. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 
2 ozs. 15c; H lb. 20c; lb. 65c, postpaid. 
YELLOW BORTFELDER 
Bortfeld (Long Yellow)—Sometimes called long 
yellow Cow Horn. Pure yellow except a little shade 
of green at the top. Grows part out of the ground and 
is of very rapid growth ; a heavy cropper and of de¬ 
licious flavor. It has proven itself to be far superior 
to any turnip ever introduced for stock feeding as it is 
a heavy yielder and relished by all stock.

RUTABAGAS or SWEDES 
Culture of Ruta Bag as—Sow the seed from about the 
middle of June to the middle of July. Ruta Bagas re¬ 
quire ground enriched with well-rotted manure, and 
should be sown in drills about two and one-half feet 
apart and the young plants thinned eight to twelve 
inches apart in the row. Keep free from weeds by 
frequent cultivation, and when the roots are full grown 
and before hard freezing weather, pull them, cut off the 
tops and store in a root cellar or pit. Ruta Bagas are 
sometimes sown broadcast and left to take their 
chances with the weeds and bugs. So treated, the crop 
is seldom a success, though occasionally on new clear¬ 
ings, free from weed seed, fair results are obtained. 
BUTZER’S BEST 
This is a strain of Purple-Top Yellow Ruta Baga of 
American origin, selected to a smaller top and a much 
shorter neck than is usually found, while the roots 
grow to a large size, and are of the finest quality and 
excellent for table use and stock feeding. We consider 
this one of the most desirable kinds on our list.
