THREE TABLE TURNIPS
EXTRA EARLY MILAN
EARLY SNOWBALL
GOLDEN BALL

TURNIP.
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; two lbs. will sow one acre.
For early, sow in April in drills half an inch deep and 12 inches apart, thin to six inches apart in the drill. For main crop sow broadcast during July and August, and just before or during a showery time if possible. The soil shold [should] be rich and mellow and kept free from weeds.
EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN.--One of the earliest sorts in cultivation. The bulb is very flat, of medium size, quite smooth, with a bright purple top; leaves few, short, and of light color, growing very compact and making exceedingly small, strap leaved top. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 85c.

EARLY SNOWBALL.--A globe-shaped, white-skinned turnip, which is exceedingly productive. The flesh is fine grained, firm, and of very delicate flavor. It is one of the best keeping of the white fleshed sorts, very early, and particularly adapted for family or market use. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
SCARLET KASHMYR.--This new, extra early bright scarlet turnip, has a striking resemblance to a large radish. The flesh is white and crisp. Matures almost as quickly as the earliest radish, and when cooked is of unsurpassed quality. A good keeper, and with its beautiful scarlet color, early maturity and fine quality, is entitled to a place among garden favorites. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00.
EARLY WHITE EGG.--Very early and particularly desirable for the table. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
PURPLE TOP STRAP-LEAVED.-The standard for this part of the country for late planting. Round, flat, good sized, small top, with but few leaves; flavor good. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c, 5 lbs. or more, not prepaid, @ 35c.
PURPLE TOP GLOBE.--Similar to above, except shape. This is the largest yielder of any turnip on the list, and very desirable for table use or stock. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c,
lb. 55c, 5 lbs. or more, not prepaid, 40c per lb.
BREADSTONE.--While of the Ruta Baga type, they are of such extra fine quality they deserve to be classed with the best table turnips. The flesh is white, fine grained, tender and sweet. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 60c.
YELLOW ABERDEEN.--Excellent for cattle feeding. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c.
MIXED TURNIPS.--All the table varieties of turnips mixed in equal proportion. A desirable mixture for family use. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 65c.

RUTA BAGA.
Sow not later than June, in drills two feet apart, and thin out to eight inches in the row.
MONARCH.--This grand, new and distinct form of the ruta baga, is, we believe, by far the best of all. The bulbs are of tankard shape, with very small neck, skin dark red above ground and yellow below, flesh rich yellow, fine grained and best quality. Only variety succeeding on our prairie soil. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
IMPROVED AMERICAN.--Very solid, fine quality, valuable for the table and for feeding stock; good shape; small neck; smooth skin; keeps well; a choice strain. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c.

EARLY WHITE MILAN.--Much like the above, but it is pure white all over, instead of having purple top. Quite popular with gardeners. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00.
GOLDEN BALL or ORANGE JELLY.--A very beautiful and bright yellow turnip of medium size and of universally sweet and delicious flavor. It is hardy and one of the best of keepers. Flesh extremely firm and solid. Always brings a good price in the market. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, lb. 20c, lb. 60c.

AMERICAN IMPROVED RUTA BAGA
MONARCH SWEDE
RUTA BAGAS OR SWEDES

WHITE SWEET GERMAN.--Large size, oval form and very solid flesh pure white and sweet. This is the best keeping variety. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 65c.
CARTER'S IMPROVED HARDY SWEDE.--Large size, excellent quality, and an immense yielder. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c.

BEANS, CORN AND PEAS IN BULK.
