Early ^Vhite Flat Butch. (Stbap- 

 Leaved. ) This is similar to the above in shape, 

 but considered about a week earher. It is 

 very popular. 



Purple Top Olobe. A variety of 

 recent introduction; same shape as the 

 Pomerian Globe, but with purple top. Fine 

 variety for table or for stock. It is not quite 

 so early as the Early Eed or Purple Top. 1 

 recommend it very highly. 



Itarge li¥hite €rlot>e. A very large 

 variety, mostly grown for stock. It can be 



used for the table when young. Flesh coarse, 

 but sweet; tops very large. 



Po^aeriau Olobe. This is selected 

 from the foregoing. It is smoother and hand- 

 somer in shape ; good to plant early in spring. 

 When pulled before it is too large it is a very 

 salable turnip in the market. 



IW^hBle Spring*. This is similar to the 

 White Flat Dutch; not quite so large, but 

 rounder in shape. The tops are larger; it is 

 early, a good quality, and best adapted for 

 spring planting.
