TURNIPS CAN BE GOOD 
They need quick growing, and thrive best at the cooler 
ends of the season. Make one sowing in early spring, for 
late spring use, another in late July or early August for 
maincrop autumn use. 
612 EXTRA EARLY WHITE MILAN-—Speediest kind, for 
spring sowing only. Smooth, flattened, pure white. Tender 
and sweet. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c. 
616 GOLDEN BALL—A high-quality sort with smooth 
round roots, outside rich orange, inside delicate amber. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c; %4 lb. 665c. 
613 PURPLE-TOP STRAP-LEAF—Large flattened roots, to 
six inches across, red-violet above, pure white below. 
Flesh white, quality very good. Much used for late broad- 
casting. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 15c; 4 Ib. 45c; 1 Ib. $2.00. 
615 WHITE EGG—Fairly large oval roots, white through- 
out. Flesh firm, sweet, crispy. Rather quick grower. Pkt. 
10c; 1 oz. 15c; %4 Ib. 50c.

RUTABAGAS 
You will appreciate them, come winter, so better make 
a sowing in late June, or not later than first week of 
July, getting seed now so you will surely have it on hand. 
Rutabagas are real food, satisfying, rich in flavor, sweet, 
firm-meated. Also they are excellent winter keepers, hold- 
ing in good shape until spring. 
626 CREAM NECKLESS—Very even, smooth roots of 
medium to large size, just under globe shape, and without 
any of the rough, stalky neck that some varieties show. 
Color is creamy primrose, upper half with pale purple- 
green stain. Flesh shows cream color in cut root, but 
cooks to bright yellow. When cooked it is of dry, creamy 
texture, sweet and good. Our tests show that a variety of 
this description is going by a number of different names 
in the Seed Trade, and since we are not sure which title 
does have precedence, we are offering it under the simple 
descriptive name of CREAM NECKLESS. It’s a fine Ruta- 
baga. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; %4 lb. 70c. 
625 PURPLE-TOP YELLOW—Largest variety, heavy roots 
to 7-inch diameters. Bright yellow within and without,
