92 THE SEED-GROWER. 
Seven Top and kindred sorts are nearly all grown in 
the Southern States, seed being produced there cheaper 
than elsewhere and is first-class in quality. 
In a favorable season, from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds of 
turnip seed are an average yield per acre; ruta baga 
is somewhat more, ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds. 
Of-course, there have been exceptionally greater yields, 
a crop of turnip having been produced in Nebraska of 
about 2,000 pounds per acre. 
European seed is laid down in New York, duty in- 
cluded, at about ten cents per pound.
