TURNIPS 
‘ packel of seed will sow 50 fl. of row; an ounce 300 ft. It requires from 1 to 14% lbs. of seed per acre in drills, or 2 to 2% lbs. broadcast. 

Purple Top 
White Globe 
Special Strain 
GOLDEN BALL. The Best Yellow Globe. A handsome, early yellow 
turnip, as round as a ball, with smooth, golden yellow skin and fine- 
grained yellow flesh. An excellent yellow turnip for table and market. 
Our stock is unusually uniform for globe shape.

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 the 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 
through and again in ten days to control the small black flea beetle. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. Srecia! 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 tops. They are very 
handsome in appearance, yield fine crops and mature early. This is an 
excellent turnip for table use and the best white variety to grow for 
market. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 14 Lb. 25c; Lb. 75c; 5 Lbs. $3.60. 
PURPLE TOP MILAN. This is the earliest variety in cultivation. 
The bulbs are very smooth, round and somewhat flattened. Clear white 
with purple tops. We have a true very early strain. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15¢e; 14 Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $4.60. 
Early White Milan. Very Early. Same as the Purple Top Milan except 
that the turnips’are pure white. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 144 Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $4.60. 
SHOGOIN. Best Variety for ‘‘greens.’’ This Japanese turnip is grown 
mostly for “‘greens”’ and is much superior to the old “Seven Top.”’ The 
tops grow rapidly and in great abundance; the foliage being nearly 
twice that of ordinary turnips and is of mild pleasant flavor when 
cooked. The turnips are flattened, pure white and of fine quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 144 Lb. 30c; Lb. 80c; 5 Lbs. $3.85. 
Snowball. A handsome, round, pure white variety of fine quality. The 
turnips are snow-white, have small tops, grow rapidly, and get very 
large under normal growing conditions. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 14 Lb. 25c; Lb. 75c; 5 Lbs. $3.60. 

RUTA BAGAS or Swede Turnips 
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 2% 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 quality, 
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. Bucks County Strain. This 
famous strain will form good size bulbs two weeks earlier than the other 
varieties and is of value both for early crops and to get good large ruta 
bagas from late sowings. 
The ruta bagas are medium large, more flattened than Long Island 
Improved, orange with purple tops, fine grained and sweet. We have 
the true Bucks County Strain.

Harris’ 
Improved 
Long Island 
Ruta Bagas 
IMPROVED LONG ISLAND. 4 fine strain of purple top 
yellow ruta bagas. The roots 
are very handsome, being bright yellow with purple tops and practi- 
cally no “‘neck.”’ They grow to a large size, 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 a fine strain of this variety being much more 
smooth and uniform in shape than most strains and is almost entirely 
neckless.
