Robertson's C^olden Ball, is the best of the yellow Turnips for table use. 

 It is very smooth, oval in shape, and of a beautiful orange color. Leaves are small. 

 Should be sown in the fall of the year, and always in drills, so that the plants can 

 be thinned out and worked. This kind ought to be more cultivated. 

 Amber Globe. This is very similar to the above kind. 



Extra Early Purple Top 

 ITIunicii. A new kind from Ger- 

 many; flat, with red or purple 

 top ; same as the American va- 

 riety, but fifteen days earlier to 

 mature. It is very hardy, tender, 

 and of fine flavor. 



Improved Purple Top 

 Ruta Bag:a. This is grown for 

 feeding stock, and also for table 

 use. It is oblong in shape, yel- 

 low flesh, very solid. Should al- 

 ways be sown in rows or ridges.

 Frencli or White EgrS" Tur- 

 nip. This is a lately introduced 

 variety ; is said to be very early ; 

 tender and crisp. The shape of 

 it is oblong, resembling an egg. 

 Having tried it, I found it as 

 represented, quickly growing, 

 tender and sweet. It will never 

 become a favorite market va- 

 riety, as only flat kinds sell well 

 in this market. It has to be 

 pulled up soon, as it becomes 

 pithy shortly after attaining ma- 

 turity.
