HARRIS’ TOMATO PLANTS 
Famous for their vigor and sturdiness, these true-to-name 
plants are available in our most popular varieties. We offer plants 
grown and shipped in Fertile Pots, large husky transplanted 
plants, and seedlings to be grown in frames for a few weeks be- 
fore setting out. See page 75 for details. 
A packet of seed will sow 50 feet of row; an ounce 300 ft. It requires 
T U R N i i from 1 to 12 Lbs. of seed per acre in drills, or 2 to 2Y2 Ibs. broadcast. 
Turnips can be grown in early spring but are much better when planted late in the 
summer for fall crop. In this section, the latter part of July is about right. They do best on 
rather light, moist soil and are of superior quality when they grow rapidly on rich land. 
Sow in rows 12 to 15 in. apart and thin to stand 3 or 4 in. in row; or just broadcast the 
seed, sowing thinly. Small black flea beetles are very apt to eat holes in the new leaves of 
turnips as they come up and grow. For protection dust regularly with 3% DDT or 
Rotenone (See page 82). 
920 PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. Special Strain. 
58 days. This is by far the most popular turnip for all purposes, because of its handsome 
shape, fine quality and attractive appearance. Our strain produces good sized, globe- 
shaped turnips, each one as smooth and round as the next, with a pure white color below 
the soil line and deep purple above. The flesh is white, crisp and of mild pleasant flavor. 
Excellent for table use and the best variety to grow for market and winter storage. 
Suitable for freezing. Pkt. 10c;Oz, 20c; 4% Lib. 55c¢3, Lib: $4220; 
906 GOLDEN BALL. The Best Yellow Turnip. 65 days. 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 at- 
tractive. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 144 Lb. 55ce; Lib: $1.20. 
928 SHOGOIN. Best Variety for ‘‘Greens.”’ 40 days. This turnip is grown mostly for 
““greens’’ and is much superior to the old ““SSeven Top.’’ The tops grow rapidly and in great 
abundance; 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.

RUTA BAGAS or Swede Turnips 
Purple Top White Globe. 
915 MACOMBER. white Flesh. The Sweetest Ruta Baga. 
92 days. If you have not tried them, 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 roots are white, with pur- 
plish 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: 30e; 
14 Lb. 80c; Lb. $2.00. 
Macomber. 
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. 
Dust the soil and the young plants to repel the flea beetles the same 
as for turnips. Use 3% DDT or Rotenone. (See page 82.) 
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 for use 
throughout the winter. 
910 IMPROVED LONG ISLAND. 
90 days. A fine strain of purple top yellow ruta bagas. The roots are 
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, and they are very good keepers. 
The seed we offer is a special neckless strain, smoother and more 
uniform in shape than most strains. It is widely used for market and 
storage. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.20.
