Bulletin 243. 



Fig. 23. — The flesh of the mangel may vary in color, but 

 always shows the fibrous ring. The largest rapid grow- 

 ing varieties tend to crack inside. This lessens value 

 and keeping quality. 



Fig. 24. — Purple-top Mammoth turnip. Top row early sown; lower row late sown. 

 Shape variable. A good yielder, but the larger roots are likely to become pithy.
