Russian — The 
plant produces , 
very large heads 
which measure 12 to 20 inches in diameter, and 
contain an immense quantity of large striped 
seeds, which are highly valued as an excellent and 
cheap food for fowls. They eat it greedily, thrive 
well, and lay the greater number of eggs. 
Increased importance of the growing of sun¬ 
flower seed is foreshadowed in the increased 
growth of the plant for forage purposes. Sun¬ 
flowers as a silage crop are said to have been 
found to be of higher food value than corn.

EAT GURNEY’S SPINACH AND BE HEALTHY 
• ■ S? ' . • ■ 
To stay young and healthy, eat plenty of greens. Spinach, lettuce, parsley and beet greens contain 
minerals and vitamins your body needs. They are found in no other food. 
This is one of the most important of our market garden crops, and one that requires very little 
care. For summer use sow at intervals of two or three weeks from April to August, and for early 
spring crop sow in September, covering it in exposed places with straw to protect it from severe frost.

House of Gurney, Inc. 
Dear Sirs: 
1 have been buying your seed the last four 
years and I sure do like them. 1 got one 
hundred bushels of Rutabagas, and I planted 
only a little over half of a 25c package of your 
Russian Rutabaga. My other garden was 
just as good. I always have such good luck 
with your Cauliflower. 
Yours truly, Mrs. M. Hugeness, 
Pleasant Lake. N. Dak. 
® KING OF DENMARK 
This new spinach will surely replace all other 
varieties for spring planting. Produces but little 
seed, slow to commence seeding, continues to grow 
and hold its fine quality long after other varieties 
have seeded and become useless. It withstands the 
hot sun and extreme dry weather better than any 
other variety. A fine strain for canning. Forms 
low, large, compact tufts, leaves broad and round 
slightly crumpled. A glossy, dark green color, 
ready to use earlier than any other spinach. 
Matures in 45 days.

TURNIPS AND RUTABAGA-SWEET AND TASTY 
1 Ounce for 150 Feet of row; 1 Pound per Acre 
I am going to make this little personal appeal to the fellows in the extreme 
North. All of that strip of tei ritor> across the northern part of theUnited 
States where root crops, such as rutabagas, turnips, carrots, etc., grow to 
perfection, where you can produce a greater yield than in any other section 
of the United States, where they will out-yield the potato crop, and bring 
equally as much money if you grow them in quantities as your best acre of 
potatoes. 
For feeding stock in Fall or Winter there is nothing superior to Turnips 
or Rutabagas, as they are much liked by all kinds of stock and serve to keep 
them in good condition.

largest yield of any of the rutabagas. This
