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 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 sweet- 
ness. 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.

FOLIAGE TURNIP — GREENS 
SHOGOIN or JAPANESE FOLIAGE Valuable both for 
its tops and roots. Although this is a comparatively 
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.

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 ex- 
cellent for stock feeding. Stands the winter 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; % Ib. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
FALL BROCCOLI-RAAB Similar to Spring Broccoli- 
Raab, but may be sown in the fall to winter over.
