RUTABAGA OR SWEDE 
Culture Same as for other turnips, except that the seed is 
generally sown from the later part of June until August. The 
rutabagas or swedes are generally grown for their winter keep¬ 
ing qualities, for which they are better than the other turnips. 
Maturity from 80 to 95 days. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED This variety has for 
many years been one of our specialties, as we 
have continued to grow and supply to our cus¬ 
tomers a strain superior in many ways to that 
sold by most houses. Our stock is noted for its 
smoothness, freedom from neck, fine round shape, 
bright yellow color, fine grain and sweetness. 
Rutabagas grown from this seed continue to be 
sold in New York market at higher prices than 
the ordinary. It is, of course, a splendid keeper. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 35c; lb. $1.25. 
AMERICAN PURPLE TOP A strain similar to 
Long Island Improved but not of such high 
quality. The ordinary rutabaga sold is of this 
type. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 34 lb. 20c; lb. 60c. 
WHITE ROCK Also known as White French, Breadstone or 
Budlong. This is a fine white fleshed rutabaga noted for its 
keeping quality and productiveness. Roots are large and 
nearly globe shaped, with a small neck. Equally good for 
table use or stock feeding. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 20c; 
lb. 60c. 
SWEET GERMAN or MACOMBER A white 
fleshed rutabaga, maturing in about 90 days. 
The roots are white, tinged with green at the top. 
Have a medium size, fine quality and keep well. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 34 lb. 20c; lb. 60c. 
Long Island Improved Rutabaga 
FOLIAGE TURNIP-GREENS 
The following varieties are grown for their tops rather than 
for their roots. 
JAPANESE FOLIAGE or SHOGOIN Valuable 
both for its tops and roots. Altho this is a com¬ 
paratively recent introduction from the Orient, 
it has been accepted in the South by reason of its 
remarkable greens. The tops grow to considerable 
size. Greens may be cut in from 25 to 30 days 
depending on weather conditions. Hot weather 
seems to have no injurious effect on the yield, 
nor does dry weather. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 34 lb. 
20c; lb. 75c. 
SEVEN TOP This is sometimes called Broccoli-Raab. It is 
used largely for fall sowing and spring cutting, as it stands 
severe cold. It is sometimes also used for stock feed, as is 
rape. This stock is very fine. Oz. 5c; J4 lb. 15c; lb. 50c. 
SOUTHERN PRIZE A variety similar to Seven Top, though 
considered in some localities to be superior. Like Seven 
Top, it is grown in considerable quantity in the South. The 
roots are of some value, as they are large, and excellent for 
stock feeding. Stands the winters well as far north as 
Virginia. Oz. 5c; l /i lb. 15c; lb. 50c. 
SPRING BROCCOLI-RAAB Superior to Seven 
Top for spring sowing. Forms a compact top 
growth and bears a yellow blossom before going 
to seed. We grow this at Milford to be sure of 
having the right strain. Sold out until July, 1939. 
FALL BROCCOLI-RAAB Similar to Spring Broc¬ 
coli-Raab, but may be sown in the fall to winter 
over. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 40c; lb. $1.50.
