RUTABAGA 
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 keeping qualities, for which they are better than the 
other turnips. Maturity from 80 to 95 days. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED. Grown by us in Con- 
necticut. This variety has for many years been one 
of our specialties as we have continued to grow and 
supply to our customers 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 con- 
tinue to be sold in New York market at higher prices 
than the ordinary. It is, of course, a splendid keep-

FOLIAGE TURNIP--GREENS 
The following varieties are grown for their tops rather 
than for their roots. 
SHOGOIN or JAPANESE FOLIAGE Valuable both 
for its tops and roots. Although 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 consider- 
able 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. 10c; oz. 15c;

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. 10c; % Ib. 20c; Ib. 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. 10c; % lb. 20c; Ib. 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. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb.
