formly than any other early scarlet fruited 
sort. The vines are vigorous and produce a 
good crop of exceptionally round and deep 
fruits, bright deep scarlet in color and of 
very good quality. Fkt., 5c; oz., 40c; 2 ozs.,

which is very dwarf growing. The vines are 
so stiff that they are generally self-support¬ 
ing. Fruits medium size, purplish red and 
borne moderately early. On account of its 
strong, upright growth, it is sometimes sold 
a3 Tree Tomato and is desirable on extreme¬ 
ly rich soil and where tall varieties have a 
tendency to make too much vine. Fkt., 10c; 
oz., 60c; 2 ozs., $1.00; *4 lb., $1.75. 
336 EARLIANA. A deep scarlet, very early 
variety. Fruit is borne in clusters, is medium 
to large, nearly round, and exceptionally

kets where purplish sorts find ready sale.

large size, as well as excellent table qualities,

2 inches thick, without a seed cavity. The 
flavor has that delicious tomato quality that 
every lover of this fruit knows so well.

such a size that one slice will cover a dinner

is of delicious flavor and most excellent for 
slicing; ripens about midseason. Most de¬ 
sirable for home use, and the large showy 
handsome fruits are popular sellers for fancy 
fruit stands.

uniform in size, nearly globe shaped. It is an 
extremely early sort and of excellent quality.

King will become popular wherever grown. 
It is a very large, early sort and its freedom 
from cracking is a strong point in its favor.

$1.35.

producing large, very smooth, solid fruit 
slightly flattened, deep red color. It is very

formity in production we strongly recommend

deep purple variety, producing uniform size 
fruit. It is somewhat deeper color than

and market gardeners.

WEISSE RUBE (Ger.) 
TURNIPS 
NAVONE (It.) 
One of the easiest crops to grow and profitable for stock feeding and in m ost cases for markets. They cost so little to grow, make splendid nutritious 
feed and should be more generally used. 
Culture. For early use, sow in March or April, either broadcast, or in drills, using preferably Milan or Purple Top Strap Leaf or Globe. 
Turnips for main crop are sown from July to September 15th, broadcast 114 to 2 lbs. per acre. An ounce will sow about 300 feet. Turnips for 
greens can be sown as late as October 1st, and require 3 to 4 lbs. per acre. 
350 EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN. Extra early variety which is 
very sweet and particularly valuable for sowing in early spring. Roots 
are medium size, plants purple, top flat. Best for private gardens and 
preferable to grow for early market crop. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 
30c; 1 lb., 85c. 
351 PURPLE TOP STRAP LEAF. A well-known early sort which 
is largely used in all sections. Our stock is extra choice. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 65c.

or main crop use. Excellent either when young or fully matured. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 20c; lb.. 65c. 
353 EARLY WHITE FLAT DUTCH. Similar to Early Purple Top 
Flat, excepting that it is white all over. Quick grower, excellent 
quality and splendid for early crop. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb-, 20c; 
1 lb., 65c.

and good for table use. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 65c.

Southern States. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; y 4 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 50c. 
Rutabaga or Swedish Turnips 
Rutabagas require longer to mature than the common turnips and 
should be sown earlier. To get heavy crops of large turnips sow the seed 
June 15 to July 1 in rows 2 to 2% feet apart. Thin the plants to a foot 
apart. Rutabagas make excellent winter feed for sheep. For table use. 
Rutabagas can be sown later and will be of better quality, but not as 
large as when sown early. These turnips keep well and may be stoi’ed 
in the cellar in moist sand or in pits for use during the winter. 
358 AMERICAN PURPLE TOP. Our stock of this is extra choice 
and can be depended on by the most critical growers. Rutabaga be¬ 
sides being best food for stock, is the sweetest of all Turnips for table 
use. Pkt., 5c; cz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c.
