This vegetable (see Fig. 35), is also called the Swed- 

 ish Turnip. There are only a few points in which it 

 differs from the turnip. The roots can stand the long 

 summer heat without becoming acrid or woody, and 

 while they cannot be considered a delicate dish, they 

 fill an important gap that otherwise 'would occur in the 

 kitchen garden of the South. 



For a summer crop the seed should be sown in winter 

 or spring. 



For other points regarding this crop, the reader is 

 referred to the turnip.
