TURNIPS 
A packet of seed will sow 50 ft. of row; an ounce 300 ft. It requires from 1 to 114 Ibs. of seed per acre in drills, or 2 to 214 lbs. broadcast. 

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 DDT, Tobacco Dust or Sulrote just as the seed is breaking through to 
repel the small black flea beetles, and keep the young plants dusted as they grow to prevent 
injury. (See DDT, Sulrote and Tobacco Dust on page 83.) 
920 PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. Special Strain. This is by far the most 
popular turnip for all purposes, because 
of its handsome shape, fine quality and attractive appearance. The turnips are good 
sized, globe-shaped, and pure white below the soil line and deep purple above. They 
yield fine crops and mature early. This is an excellent variety for table use and the best 
variety to grow for market. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 35c; Lb. 85c. 
906 GOLDEN BALL. The Best Yellow Turnip. If you prefer yellow-fleshed turnips, this 
is the kind to grow. It is early and of the best quality with fine-grained yellow flesh and 
smooth golden yellow skin. The roots are as round as a ball, very smooth and attractive. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.00. 
928 SHOGOIN. Best Variety for ‘‘greens.’’ This turnip is grown mostly for “‘greens” 
and is much superior to the old ““‘Seven Top.”’ The tops grow rapidly and in great abun- 
dance; the foliage is nearly twice that of ordinary turnips and is of mild pleasant flavor 
when cooked. The turnips are flattened, pure white and of fine quality.

Vegetable Collections 
We offer two complete garden seed collections at 
R UTA BAGAS or Swede Tu rnips much reduced prices. Please see page 1. 
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 ruta bagas, sow the seed June 15 to 
July 1 in rows 2 to 21% 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 DDT, 
Tobacco Dust 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. 
915 MACOMBER. White Flesh. The Sweetest Ruta Baga. This variety is so 
mild-flavored and delicious that many people who won’t eat 
ordinary ruta bagas or turnips are very fond of Macomber. They are easy to grow, large 
and smooth with fine grained white flesh. See full description on page 6. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lh. 75c; Lb. $2.00. 
910 IMPROVED LONG ISLAND. A fine strain of purple top yellow ruta 
bagas. The roots are very handsome, being 
bright yellow with purple tops and practically 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 more smooth and uniform in 
shape than most strains. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 144 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.10. Macomber—white flesh, fine grained and sweet.
