HARRIS’ TOMATO PLANTS 
For the Biggest Crops of our Best Varieties 
We specialize in raising sturdy, vigorous plants of our own 
outstanding varieties and strains, far superior in quality and 
yield to the ordinary kinds. Your choice of extra-large potted 
plants, strong, thick transplants, or young seedlings to be grown 
in frames before setting out. See TOMATO PLANTS on page 75. 
TURNIPS 
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 5% 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. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c; Lb. $1.20. 
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; 14 Lb. 55c; Lb. $1.20. 
928 SHOGOIN. Best Variety for “Greens.” 40 days. This turnip is grown mostly for 
“greens’’ and is much superior to the old ‘Seven 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.

with the Macomber turnip. It is truly ‘“‘a turnip of quality,’’ and much 
superior in flavor and mildness to ordinary rutabagas or turnips.

: ; could be so mild and sweet as 
Macomber.

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

Any three half ounces: $1.25.

from 1 to 1% Lbs. of seed per acre in drills, or 2 to 2¥2 Ibs. broadcast. 
Purple Top White Globe 
The rutabagas, or Swede turnips, require longer to mature than the 
common turnips and should be sown earlier. To get heavy crops of 
large rutabagas, sow the seed June 15 to July 1 in rows 2 to 21% 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 5% DDT or Rotenone. (See page 82.) 
For table use, rutabagas can be sown later and will be of better 
quality, but not as large as when sown early. These rutabagas keep 
well and may be stored in the cellar in moist sand or in pits for use 
throughout the winter.
