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, pure white below the soil line and deep purple above. They yield

“Last year a friend advised us to try Harris’ Seeds. He felt that seeds grown in a locality 
with a climate similar to ours stand a better chance than those grown in warmer conditions. He 
gave us his catalogue and we used Harris’ Seeds, much to our delight. Our garden was the best

RUTA BAGAS or Swede Turnips 
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 2% feet apart. Thin to a foot apart. Ruta bagas make excellent winter 
feed for sheep. 
Dust the soil and the young plants to repel the flea beetles the same as for turnips. Use 
3% DDT, Rotenone or Tobacco Dust. (See page 83.) 
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. 
White Flesh. The Sweetest Ruta Baga. If you have not 
915 MACOMBER. tried them before, you will be delightfully surprised with the 
Macomber turnip. It is truly “‘a turnip of quality,” and much superior in flavor and 
mildness to ordinary ruta bagas or turnips. Many people write us every year that they 
had no idea ruta bagas could be so mild and sweet as Macomber. 
The turnips are white with purplish green tops, large, smooth, round and handsome 
and with practically no neck. The flesh is white, fine grained and of a mild sweet flavor. 
They will keep all winter and remain in fine condition if properly stored. To get the best 
results the seed should be sown about the middle or last of June in the Northern states. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 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.
