than the White Flat Dutch. Pkt. 5c oz. 10c 34 lb. 30c lb. 85c 
JERSEY LELY—65 Days. Very smilar to White Egg, but

LANDRETHS* SOUTHERN SNOW WHITE GLOBE—80 
Days. Color pure white, shape round, size large, solid, quick 
in its growth for a large Turnip. Produces a great tonnage to

LARGE EARLY RED OR PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE— 
60 Days. This is a large sized, rapid grower, attractive in 
appearance and admired by all. Purplish red above ground, 
bulbs large, two thirds white, globe shaped, smooth with a 
fine tap root, fine grained flesh. The roots when about 234 
to 3 inches in diameter, are the best size for edible condition. 
This is the most popular, most largely used of all varieties. 
Pkt. 5c oz. 10c 34 lb- 20c lb. 65c 
SHOGOIN OR JAPANESE FOLIAGE—55 Days. This is 
a decided acquisition to both the Turnip and the Greens 
classes. It produces an abundance of tender delicately flavored 
leaves, and later a full crop of very tender Turnips, closely 
resembling Early White Flat Dutch. It is a very rapid grower. 
The leaves as greens, being ready fully as early as any of the 
Turnips for greens. After the leaves are cut the roots form 
rapidly, reaching maturity almost as early as Flat Dutch and 
Purple Top Strap Leaf. Pkt. 5c oz. 10c 34 lb. 30c lb. 65c 
POMERANIAN WHITE GLOBE—70 Days. Shape round,

YELLOW FLESHED VARIETIES 
ABERDEEN OR YELLOW SCOTCH—70 Days. This 
Turnip is highly recommended for cattle. Roots yellow with 
green top, flesh yellow. It is a ranker grower and coarser and 
later than the Amber Globe which we offer, but we recommend 
it most highly for dairy purposes. Listed by us over 100 years 
ago. Pkt. 5c oz. 10c 34 lb. 30c lb. 60c 
AMBER GLOBE GREEN CROWNED—70 Days. This we 
introduced in 1863 and it is almost indispensable in every house¬ 
hold. It is a vigorous, free grower, valuable for both table and 
cattle feeding, productive and an excellent keeper. We can say 
without hesitancy it is the best yellow fleshed Turnip on the 
market. Roots are large with green tops and globular shaped. 
The skin is yellow, except at the top, which is green. The 
flesh is light yellow, of fine texture, very sweet, and when 
cooked more closely resembles Rutabaga than any other Turnip 
on the market. Pkt. 5c oz. 10c 34 lb. 30c lb. 65c 
AMBER GLOBE RED CROWNED—70 Days. A Blooms- 
dele selection from the older Green Crowned Amber Globe. 
The same in every respect as the Green except it has an outside 
red crown and for this reason it is preferred by some market 
gardeners, as they like its appearance in the basket. 
Pkt. 5c oz. 10c 34 lb. 35c lb. 75c

good variety. The roots, however, are not good for eating, 
only the tops being used. Pkt. 5c oz. 10c 34 lb. 30c lb. 50c 
SEVEN TOP OR SOUTHERN PRIZE—50 Days. This 
Turnip is used entirely for greens and salad. It may be left 
standing in the open ground during Winter as far north sa 
Philadelphia. In the Spring in the Southern State it yields an 
abundant foliage for boiling with cured meat and is in much 
demand. It is principally cultivated in the Southern States 
and is a great favorite as greens for stock.

Long Island Swede, quite wonderful in its fine breeding. It is

THE VALUE OF AN EXPERIMENTAL OR 
TRIAL GROUND 
The success of a seedsman depends upon his Field Ex¬ 
perience as a worker in a Garden or his familiarity with a 
Trial Ground worthy of the name. A place in the open 
fields is like the laboratory to the chemist; where differ¬ 
ences can be tested and noted. 
On Landreths’ Experimental Grounds hundreds of 
stocks of Seeds from many sources are tested for the pur¬ 
pose of showing purity or impurity, earliness or lateness, 
size of plant, color, flavor, texture, and in fact a comparison 
of every quality.
