[Left Column.]
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, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c.

Early Snowball.--A perfect globe-shaped, white-skinned turnip. It 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.
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 perfectly white, fine grained, and cooks in only fifteen minutes, very tender and sweet. Pkt. 5c, oz 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 60c.

[Right Column.]
Turnip.
6 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 should be rich and mellow and kept free from weeds.

Scarlet Kashmyr.--A handsome new variety which everyone should try. See description with novelties. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c, lb. $1.25.

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 an exceedingly small, strap leaved top. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 85c.

Nimble Dick.--It is extra early and produces handsome, fair sized turnips in a very few weeks from time seed is planted. Color white, flesh crisp and of excellent flavor. 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 per lb.
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.

Early White Egg.--Very early and particularly desirable for the table. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.

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 buga, 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. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
Improved American.--Very solid, fine quality, valuable for the table and for feeding stock. Very hardy and productive, excellent shape, with small neck and smooth skin, keeps well. Our strain is choice. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c.
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.
