Planting Instructions For the early crop, sow the

horse cultivator is to be employed. If one good seed is 
dropped every inch of furrow the stand should be satis-

WHITE FLESHED VARIETIES 
The earliest varieties are the two Milan Turnips. These 
reach a size of 2 to 3 inches in sixty days and it is at this 
size that they are best. 

Purple Top Strap Leaved 

Extra Early Purple Top Milan The earliest in cultivation. Very flat, medium size, with a bright purple top; 
leaves few, short, and light of color. The pure white flesh is of choicest quality, hard, solid, and fine grained. It 
is an excellent keeper. 1 0z., 10c; 14 Ib., 35c. 
Extra Early White Milan Root small, very smooth, flat, entirely white, with a slender tap-root; leaves 
small and few, undivided, oval. 1 0z., 10c; '4 Ib., 35c. 
Purple Top Strap Leaved The standard for this part of the country. The root is small or medium sized, 
very flat, quite smooth, pure white on the underground part, and bright violet-red on the upper part. 
Early White Egg A quick-growing, egg-shaped variety. The flesh is very sweet, firm and mild, never having 
the rank, strong taste of some varieties. 
Purple Top White Globe An old favorite. Root large, quite round, white underground, and purple on the 
upper part for about one-half of the length of the root. 
Pomeranian White Globe 4 free-growing rough leaved sort used for both table and stock. Flesh is white, 
very firm and close grained. 
YELLOW FLESHED VARIETIES 
Amber Globe or Str ap-Leaved Root almost round or, more usual- 
ly, top-shaped; flesh pale yellow, fine-grained and sugary. 
Seven Top The salad turnip. When sown in the early spring it pro- 
duces greens very quickly. 
Purple Top Yellow Rutabaga The best variety of the Swedish 
turnip. It is hardy and productive, flesh is yellow, of solid texture, sweet 
and well flavored. Rutabaga requires more room and a longer period for 
its growth than the turnip. 
TOBACCO 
Pkt., 10c; 1 0z., 45c; 4 Ib., $1.50. 
Havana Pure Cuban grown seed. When grown in this country com- 
mands a high price as cigar stock. 
Connecticut Seed Leaf Best adapted to the climate of the middle 
and northern states, as it is more hardy and endures the cold better than 
the tender varieties grown in the South. 
Missouri Broad Leaf A well known standard sort, valuable for cigar 
wrappers. 
White Burley A variety grown for the manufacture of fine cut and 
plug.
