TURNIP 
CULTURE—The successful cultivation of Turnips and Ruta 
Bagas requires that the land be thoroughly prepared, en¬ 
riched and put in the best condition, covering the seed 
about 14 inch. For regular crop for Fall and Winter 
use, sow from July to October. If drilled, one ounce sows 
about 100 feet of row, IY 2 lbs. to the acre. Rows should 
be 2 feet apart and plants thinned to 6 or 8 inches. When 
seeded, broadcast 1% to 2 pounds to the acre are re¬ 
quired. The salad varieties can be sown during August 
and September, broadcast from 3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
Ruta Bagas should be sown from June to September. 
These thrive best if seeded in drills and cultivated, when 
about 114 pounds are required to sow an acre. Sow in 
rows about 2 feet apart and thin the plants from 6 to 8 
inches. Ruta Bagas are also frequently seeded broad¬ 
cast, when about 2 pounds to the acre are required. 
IMPROVED RED TOP WHITE GLOBE—This is probably 
the handsomest and certainly the most popular Turnip in 
our list. It is a very large variety. Many customers have 
produced Turnips from our strain of this seed weighing 8 
lbs. and over. It is globe shaped with pure white flesh. 
The skin is purple above the ground and white beneath, 
making it most attractive in appearance. Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 
20c; lb. 55c, postpaid. 
EARLY PURPLE TOP (Strap Leaf)—A well-known early, 
flat growing variety with purple top, fine grained, tender 
and sweet. This is one of the best early table turnips. 
Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 15c; lb. 45c, postpaid. 
EARLY WHITE FLAT DUTCH (Strap Leaf)—A medium 
sized early flat growing turnip, similar in size and shape 
to the Early Purple Top, except that it is entirely white 
with a greenish tinge near the top. Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 15c; 
lb. 45c, postpaid. 
WHITE EGG—A quick growing, pure white, egg shaped 
variety with small tops. Smooth, thin skin, firm flesh,

home use. Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 15c; lb. 45c, postpaid. 
POMERANIAN WHITE GLOBE—A large and beautifully 
formed, globe shaped turnip of snowy whiteness. Grows 
uniform in size and of fine table quality. The leaves also 
make a salad of excellent quality. Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 15c; 
lb. 45c, postpaid. 
LARGE WHITE NORFOLK—A splendid turnip which has 
long been a standard sort for stock feeding and market. 
It is globe shaped, flattened at the top and grows to a 
large size. The flesh is sweet, but is inclined to be coarse 
of grain at maturity. It is largely used for winter salad. 
Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 15c; lb. 45c, postpaid. 
LONG WHITE COWHORN—As its name indicates, this is a 
long, white turnip, which grows from 12 to 15 inches long, 
half above ground, and is generally curved like a cow’s 
horn. The table qualities are good, however, as it is fine 
grained and sweet, is also a good variety for stock feed¬ 
ing and keeps well for winter use. Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 15c; lb. 
45c, postpaid.
