TABLE TURNIPS 
Turnips are easy to grow, but rarely do well in summer. The spring crop 
must be sown in this section before April 15th, so that it will mature before 
May 25th. Early turnips shoula be used when quite young in order to be 
tender. If they remain in the ground too long, they are liable to be both 
woody and strong flavored. Turnips grow best in the fall from seed sown 
from July 15 th to July 25th. The varieties grown at this season remain in 
good condition all winter. 
Early Snowball Turnip 
One of the best white-fleshed sorts grown. It is an excellent sort 
to sow very early for a spring crop, when, if used before fully grown, 
it will be of particularly good quality and very tender. It may also 
be used to good advantage to grow a quick crop for immediate use 
in the fall, if sown during August, or even as late as September 
10th. We do not urge its use for winter keeping, as many other 
sorts are preferable. It is one of the most evenly shaped of all 
Turnips. The bulbs when trimmed arc almost a perfect sphere, 
snow white in color, and quite free from side roots. (See engraving.)

“ Henderson's Golden Heart Ruta Baga is the first I have found to suit this soil 
and climate. It does not run to leaves and neck as others do.” 
1\ S. ARMSTRONG, Beatrice, Neb. 
Henderson's Long Island Improved Ruta Baga. Bred from the 
American Purple Top, over which it is a great improvement. It is 
very much larger, has no neck, and is a remarkably good keeper; the 
flesh is rich yellow, and of fine quality. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c,

'‘Just before I retired from the market gardening business I raised in one season 
3123 bushels of Henderson's Long Island Ruta Baga. They were the pride of the 
neighborhood.” CYRUS PICKETT , Cheshire, Conn. , 
A very large globe-shaped 
variety. The upper surface of the 
bulb is reddish purple, the lower 
part is white. It grows smooth, 
has a small root and medium 
sized tops. The flesh is pure 
white, crisp, very fine, and is one 
of the best sorts to store for 
winter. Recommended for fall 
crop. (See engraving). Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c> }{ lb., $1.00 l\) t 
Henderson’s Golden Heart Ruta Baga 
Excellent for the family garden. It grows as clean and smooth 
as a Turnip. Both tops and roots are smaller than those of any 
other sort; it may therefore stand closer in the row, and may also 
be sown later in the season. The flesh is remarkably fine grained 
and of good flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. 
34 lb., $1.25 lb. 
“ Your Golden Heart Ruta Baga seed came up fine in three days. It is 
grand variety."

Early White Milan Turnip 
Golden Ball 
An extra early variety of rapid growth with very small leaves. 
It is admirably adapted for spring and early summer planting, and 
if sown during the early spring will furnish a supply of the most 
tender and delicately flavored 
Turnips. The root is of small 
size, smooth and ivory white 
both inside and out. The flesh is 
fine grained, tender, mild and 
sweet in flavor, and when grown 
quickly never becomes pithy or 
woody. It is greatly esteemed 
by all, and, in addition to the 
heavy crop assured by its adapt¬ 
ability for close planting, it is 
fit for use at least a week earlier 
than any other white variety in 
cultivation. Price, 10c. pkt., 
20c. oz., 60c. *4 lb., $2.00 lb. 
Early Red Top Strap 
Leaved Turnip 
Or “Orange Jelly” Turnip 
A very distinct variety, and 
the finest yellow fleshed sort for 
family use. It grows a very 
shapely bulb, medium in size, 
almost round, very smooth, and 
quite free from side roots. The 
skin is pale yellow, the flesh deep 
yellow throughout, and so fine in 
texture as to earn the name 
“Orange Jelly.” Sown in July it 
gives a very satisfactory crop in 
early fall, and may be used to 
great advantage during winter if 
properly stored. Price, 5c. pkt., 
10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb-, $1.00 lb. 
This is perhaps the most popu¬ 
lar of all the quick growing sorts, 
and may be used to good ad¬ 
vantage for the early spring 
crop. It grows very rapidly 
under proper conditions, and in 
' six weeks from sowing will pro¬ 
duce a good crop of tender 
roots of mild and pleas¬ 
ing flavor. The leaves 
are short, the roots 
quite flat, the up¬ 
per half reddish 
purple, the 
lower half 
white. The 
flesh is pure 
white, crisp 
and fine 
grained.
