TURNIPS -Delicious for Eating andGreens 
SALSIFY 
Culture—Sow from March to July in drills, 
18 inches apart, covering the seed one inch, 
and thin the plants to 4 or 6 inches and cul- 
tivate often. Salsify thrives best in a deep, 
rich, fine, mellow, loamy soil, previously en- 
riched for some other crop, as applying fresh 
or coarse manure has tendency to induce ill- 
shaped, rough or sprangling side roots or 
forking, though an application of liquid ma- 
nure in dry weather will be beneficial. The 
roots are perfectly hardy and may be left in 
open ground all winter, but should be taken 
up before growth starts in the spring. One 
ounce sows 50 feet of row, 8 pounds to the 
acre. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—This is 
decidedly the best salsify, being a vigor- 
ous grower and far superior to all other 
varieties. The long, white tapering roots 
are very large, smooth and well shaped 
and of delicate oyster-like flavor. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; 1% lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00, 
postpaid. 
SPINACH 
Culture—For early summer use, sow as 
early in the spring as the ground can be 
worked and for later use until April, after 
which time it runs to seed, except the New 
Zealand, which is a summer variety. For 
winter and spring use sow from August to 
the middle of November. Spinach should be 
grown only in good soil, well fertilized, as it 
does not thrive on poor land. It is best to 
sow in drills about 18 inches apart, covering 
the seed about 1 inch, and plants thinned to 
4 or 6 inches. Spinach seed is rather delicate 
and it is sometimes difficult to get a good 
stand unless weather conditions are favorable. 
Two ounces of seed will sow 100 feet of row, 
20 pounds to the acre. 
NORFOLK SAVOY or BLOOMSDALE—The 
standard spinach for the South. Is suit- 
able for both spring and autumn sowing. 
Is early, very hardy, withstanding the 
winter, and grows rapidly; leaves are of 
the darkest green, curled to perfection, 
and retains its crispness long after being 
cut; for delicate flavor, nutritious and 
digestible. 
VY \b., 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid. 
NEW ZEALAND—This is strictly a summer 
spinach and should not be sown until 
April 15th or after danger of frost is past. 
The tender leaves may be cut every few 
days, when new leaves promptly take 
the place of those which are cut and the 
new growth continues until frost. It will 
not stand the winter, as it is killed by 
frost. The seeds germinate better and 
more quickly if soaked in warm water 
overnight just before sowing. Plant 4 
seeds in hills 2 feet apart. 
Pkt., 10c: oz., 20c: 1% lb., 60c; lb., $2.00, 
postpaid. j 
CRESS 
HIGHLAND CRESS—The perennial variety 
which stays green the whole year. Boil 
like greens or serve as lettuce. 
Pkt., 10c: oz., 15c; 4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, 
postpaid. 
TURNIP 
Culture—The successful cultivation of tur- 
nips and rutabagas requires that the land be 
thoroughly prepared, enriched and put in the 
best condition, covering the seed about %4 
inch. For regular crop for fall and winter use, 
sow from July to October. If drilled, one 
ounce sows about 100 feet of row, 112 pounds 
to.the acre. Rows should be 2 feet apart and 
plants thinned to 6 or 8 inches. When seeded, 
broadcast 1% to 2 pounds to the acre are 
required. The salad varieties can be sown 
during August and September, broadcast from 
3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
IMPROVED RED TOP WHITE GLOBE— 
This is probably the handsomest and 
certainly the most popular turnip in our 
list. It is a very large variety. Many 
customers have produced turnips from 
our strain of this seed weighing 8 pounds 
and over. It is globe shaped with pure 
white flesh. The skin is purple above the 
ground and white beneath, making it 
most attractive in appearance. 
Pkt., 10c; %4 lb., 25c: lb., 75c: postpaid. 
EARLY PURPLE TOP (Strap Leaf)—A well- 
known early, flat growing variety with 
purple top, fine grained, tender and 
sweet. This is one of the best early: table 
turnips. 
Pkt., 10c; %4 Ib., 25c: lb., 75c: postpaid. 
EARLY WHITE FLAT DUTCH (Strap Leaf)— 
A medium sized early flat growing tur- 
nip, similar in size and shape to the 
Early Purple Top, except that it is en- 
tirely white with a greenish tinge near 
the top. 
Pkt., 10c:; % Ib., 25c; lb., 75c: postpaid. 
EXTRA EARLY WHITE MILAN (44 days)— 
Early as the Purple Top Milan; of a per- 
fect flat form; pure white; small foliage 
and of fine quality; as an early market 
variety it is unsurpassed. 
Pkt., 10c: 4 lb., 35e; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
POMERANIAN WHITE GLOBE—A large 
and beautifully formed, globe shaped 
turnip of snowy whiteness. Grows uni- 
form in size and of fine table quality. 
The leaves also make a salad of excel- 
lent quality. 
Pkt., 10c; %4 lb., 25c; lb., 75c; postpaid. 
LARGE WHITE NORFOLK—A splendid tur- 
¥ 
EARLY PURPLE TOP STRAPLEAF 
YELLOW ABERDEEN — Although a good 
table turnip, it is often grown for stock 
feeding, being a splendid variety for this 
purpose. Probably no other variety 
equals it in keeping through the winter 
under unfavorable conditions. Has yel- 
low flesh, is very solid, hardy and sweet. 
Pkt., 10c: % lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
SALAD VARIETIES (Turnip) 
SOUTHERN PRIZE—While this makes a 
white turnip of fair quality, it is used 
principally for growing salad for winter 
and spring use. It grows entirely down 
in the ground, is very hardy, standing 
the winter without protection. 
Pkt., 10c:; %4 lb., 20c: lb., 65c, postpaid. 
SEVEN TOP—This variety is recommended 
only for making salad, being splendid 
for that purpose, its leaves being very 
abundant, but its roots are of very little 
value. Is very hardy, standing the cold- 
est winters without protection. 
Pkt., 10c: 4 lb., 20c; lb., 65c, postpaid. 
SHOGOIN—A Japanese variety of recent 
introduction, produces a pure white tur- 
nip 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The tops 
are very abundant and highly recom- 
mended as a salad variety. Its outstand- 
ing feature is that lice will not destroy 
the foliage. 
Pkt., 10c; % Ib., 25c; lb., 75c: postpaid. 
RUTABAGA 
Rutabagas should be sown from June to 

NORFOLK SAVOY 
16 
nip which has long been a standard sort 
for stock feeding and market. It is globe 
shaped, flattened at the top and grows 
to a large size. The flesh is sweet, but 
is inclined to be coarse of grain at ma- 
turity. It is largely used for winter salad. 
Pkt, 10c: %4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
YELLOW FLESH VARIETIES (Turnip) 
AMBER GLOBE—A large globe shaped 
turnip with solid yellow flesh. A good 
table turnip, but is probably more gen- 
erally grown for stock feeding. It keeps 
well and is a general favorite with those 
who prefer the yellow flesh turnips. 
Pkt., 10c:; % lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, postpaid, 

September. These thrive best if seeded in 
drills and cultivated, when about 1¥% pounds 
are required to sow an acre. Sow in rows 
about 2 feet apart and thin the plants from 
6 to 8 inches. Rutabagas are also frequently 
seeded broadcast, when about 2 pounds to 
the acre are required. 
IMPROVED PURPLE TOP YELLOW—We 
consider this so far superior to any other 
rutabaga that we do not offer any other 
variety. Our stock is the best American 
strain, grown from roots which have been 
carefully selected for large size, uniform 
shape and exceptional quality. This is 
by far the best rutabaga for either table 
use or stock feeding.
