Turnips should be sown late in the summer. In the northern states the 
seed of the quick-growing kinds, like Purple Top White Globe should be 
sown about the middle of July or t he first of August, and the slower kinds 
a week or two earlier. Farther south, turnips may be sown later. Turnips 
do best on rather light, moist soil and are of superior quality when they 
grow rapidly on rich land. 
Dust the soil with “Sulrote” (See page 87) just as the seed is breaking 
Ihrough and again in ten days to control the small black flea beetle. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. Special Strain. We 
- have never seen a strain 
equal to ours for smoothness and uniformity of shape and color. The 
turnips are large, globe-shaped, pure white, with purple top. They are 
very handsome in appearance. Yields fine crops and matures early. 
This is an excellent turnip for table use and the best white variety to 
grow for market,

RUTA BAGAS or Swede Turnips Cavolo Navone (it.) 
The ruta bagas, or Swede turnips, 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 2p£ feet apart. Thin 
to a foot apart. Ruta bagas make excellent winter feed for sheep. 
It is important to dust the young plants just after they break through 
the ground to prevent damage and stunting by a small black beetle which 
infests them. Use gypsum or “Sulrote.” 
For table use, ruta bagas can be sown later and will be of better qualit y, 
but not as large as when sown early. These ruta bagas keep well and 
may be stored in the cellar in moist sand or in pits. 
EARLY YELLOW PURPLE TOP. »“' k * f 
- Strain. I his famous 
strain will form good size bulbs two weeks earlier than the other varie¬ 
ties and is of value both for early crops and to get good large ruta bagas 
from late sowings. 
The ruta bagas are medium large, slightly flattened, orange with 
purple tops, fine grained and sweet. We have the true Bucks County 
stock. _ Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; fi Lb. 45c:

IMPROVED LONG ISLAND. Special Neckless Strain. A fine strain 
of purple top yellow ruta bagas. The roots are very handsome, being 
bright yellow with purple tops and no “neck." They grow to a large 
size, perfectly round or globe-shaped, very smooth and of fine quality 
for table use. It is one of the best for this purpose. 
The seed we offer is of the finest strain of this variety we have ever 
seen, being much more smooth and uniform in shape than other strains 
and is almost entirely neckless.
