VEGETABLE SEEDS 
RUTABAGA, Swedish Turnip 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 2 to 4 Ibs. per acre. 
The culture is the same as for common turnip, but if any- 
thing, less exacting in care. Pkt. 5e; 1 oz. 15ce. 
Improved American Purple Top (or Long Island Improved).

use. Flesh yellow, solid and sweet. Is globe shaped, of large 
size, of fine quality. 
SALSIFY, Vegetable Oyster 
1% oz. to 100 ft., 7 to 8 Ibs. per acre. 
The roots of this vegetable are appetizing and nutritious. 
and the flavor is like that of oysters. Salsify succeeds best in 
a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a good 
depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will 
cause the roots to become irregular and branched. Sow early 
and quite deep, giving the general culture recommended for 
parsnip. Pkt. 10ec; 1 oz. 20c. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. Large and strong growing with 
long, smooth, white, tapering roots less likely to branch than 
those of other sorts.

running sorts. Put 12 to 15 seeds in each hill; afterward thin 
out, leaving 3 or 4 of the best plants. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15ce.
