Extra Early White French, 



Puri>le Top Ruta Baj2:a 

 or Swede. This is grown 

 for feeding stock, and also for 

 taWle use. It is oblong in 

 shape, V el low tlesh, very sol'd. 

 Should always be sown in rows 

 or ridges. 



Improved Purple Top 

 Iluta Ba<.»a. Similar to the

Extra Early White 

 French, or White Ej^g 

 Turnip. This is a lately in- _ _ _ 

 troiluceii viiriety; is said to be j^ZjS^^^^ 

 very early, lender and crisp. 

 The shape of it is oblong, le- pn,- 

 senibling an egg. Havin 

 trietl it, I found it as rep re 

 sen led, quickly growing, ten- 

 der and sweet. It never will 

 become a favorite market va- 

 riety, as only liat kinds sell 

 well in this market. It has to 

 be pulled up soon, as it be- 

 come s pithj' shortly after at- 

 taining mtituiity. 



SWEET AND MEDICINAL HERBS 



Some of these possess culinary as wA\ as medicinal proper- 

 ties. Should be found in every garden. Groutid where they are 

 to be sown sliouM bn av> 11 ])repared and i)ulverize!). Si)rae of 

 ihem have very fine s.^ ed, and it is only hec<^ssary, after the .-eed 

 is sown, to press the gr.mnd with, the back of the spade; if cov- 

 ered too -deep they cann-^t come up. Early spring is the best 

 time to sow them — some, such as Sage, Rosemary, Lavender and 

 Basil, are best sown in a frame and afterwards tiansplanted 

 into the garden.
