The Yellow Aberdeen hybrid turnip proved to be the best to grow 

 for early fall use. Garton Pioneer is later and can be stored as well as 

 rutabagas. In both years it outyielded the rutabagas. (Sec p. 129.) 



The Mammoth Improved Green Globe and White Egg are recom- 

 mended as useful turnips for early fall use. 



Carter 100-Ton carrot was the best variety for clay loam soil. Lob- 

 berich Agricultural Carrot did equally well on clay loam and gravel loam, 



Altringham seems to be 

 useless on the heavy clay 

 loam. Giant Wiltshire 

 and Orange Giant gave 

 good yields on the heavy 

 clay loam, but were dif- 

 ficult to harvest, because 

 they broke off so readily ; 

 they are better adapted 

 to deep, friable loams. 

 (Figs. 55, 60.) 



White Vienna and 

 Carter Model kohlrabi 

 were of equal value. 



(Figs- 53. 54:) 



Hollow Crown pars- 

 nips gave a poor yield 

 (eight tons) during the 

 three years. 



Fig. 40. — Golden Tankard mingel. Though its yield 

 of fresh substa)ice is not so high as soms others, yst 

 ■it yields well in dry matter. Shape variable.
