VEGETABLES FOK THE GARDEN 43 



Beauty. — A productive variety for main crop. Fruits large, 

 smooth, nearly round, slightly flattened. Flesh thick, quality 

 good. Color crimson tinged with purple. Recommended for 

 growers whose market prefers a dark or crimson variety. . 



TURNIP 



Early Milan (Purple Top and White). — Earliest of all. Size 

 small ; shape flat. Sweet and tender when small. Recom- 

 mended only as a first early. 



Early Snowball. — Medium in size, round, smooth, and white. 

 A good market sort for bunching, at which stage the quality is 

 fine. 



White Egg. — Shape oval ; color white. Roots firm, smooth, 

 tender, and sweet, w T hen nearly matured. If planted early and 

 allowed to stand after maturing, it becomes large and spongy 

 like other early varieties. 



Bed To}i Globe. — When well grown this is a very attractive 

 market sort. Size medium to large. Shape nearly round. 

 Quality good. 



SWEDES OR RUTABAGA 



American Purple Top Butabaga. — We recommend this 

 variety of turnip for late fall and winter use for the following 

 reasons. It is a fine market sort, often selling in the markets 

 for double the price of the early white turnip ; it is also a 

 splendid keeper, and is usually free from all sponginess. 

 While it cannot be planted as late as the early turnips, it can 

 be used as a follow crop after early peas, provided the seed is 

 sown not later than July 10.
