TUPISTRA. JT. nutans is the corrett name of 
T. squalida. To the species described on p. 108, Vol. IV., 
the following shonld be added :

Tupistra—continued. 
T. perakensis (Perak). /. shining purple, fleshy, and having a 
pure white, disk-like, spreading, flat stigma, in erect spikes. 
/. narrower and more beautiful than those of 7. nutans. Perak 
1900. A somewhat remarkable species. 
TURF ASHES. These are from burnt» turf, and are 
of some valne when applied to land; but it is a wasteful 
mode of dealing with turf, which would be far more 
valuable if dug or ploughed in the ground as turf, as the 
roots of all plants and trees qnickly seize upon such 
material when placed within their reach. Where turf is 
burnt all the fibre is destroyed, and the fertilising matter 
in the ashes is soon lost by the action of wet. 
TURNIP. Sorts. The following are noteworthy addi- 
tions to the list given in Vol. IV., pp. 112-3: 
CATELL’S SILVER BALL, skin white; round and of model form ; 
an excellent mid-season or late variety. FLAT FORCING, skin 
white ; round, robust, and excellent for forcing or early crop 
outside. GREEN-TOP STONE, skin green at the top ; round, fine 
shape, and tender; an excellent hot weather variety, and one 
of the best for summer use. HALF-LONG WHITE FORCING, skin 
white ; pyriform, tender, and of splendid quality; one of the 
earliest and best varieties. JERSEY LiLy, skin white ; round, 
very handsome, fine quality, top short; a fine variety for 
exhibition or summer use. NEW MODEL, skin white; round, 
handsome, with short top, and good quality. 
TURNIP CABBAGE (Brassica oleracea Caulo-rapa). 
This is generally known ag Kohl Rabi or Knol Kohl, and 
though grown as a field crop in some parts, is a very 
useful vegetable. The seeds should be sown at the end 
of March, thinly, and when large enough to handle, 
planted ont about 24ft. apart each way on good, rich 
soil. The plants stand drought very well, and when 
cooked have the flavour of a nice sweet Turnip. 
TURNIP FLEA, or TURNIP FLY. This pest 
of the farmer and the gardener was somewhat fully 
dealt with in Vol. IV., and little can be suggested by 
way of prevention or remedies. It has been, however, 
demonstrated that Charlock wherever it occurs forms a 
suitable food-plant for the Turnip Fleas while the leaves of 
the Turnip are growing. It should therefore be rigorously 
kept down. Other common weeds that serve to tide it 
over a period are Hedge Mustard and Shepherd’s Purse.

Fic. 741. Turnip Fty (Pihyllotreta nemorum). 1, Beetle, 
much magnified; 2, Length and wing expanse; 3, Insect, 
natural size; 4, 5, Egg, natural size and magnified ; 6, 7, Tissne 
and cuticle eaten away by Larva; 8, 9, Larva, natural size and 
magnified ; 10, 11, Pupa, natural size and magnified. 
These also should be eliminated. Care should always be 
taken to use good fresh seed, so that the plants make head- 
way quickly before the Beetles have an opportunity of 
attacking them. Another method of prevention snggested 
is to work the land well in the antnmn, and then sow the 
seed in spring. This is also calenlated to induce the 
seedlings to make rapid progress. Fig. 741 shows the 
Turnip Fly in various stages of its life-history, and 
magnified as well as natural size.
