should not be sown later than the end of August; the Golden Ball and 
Aberdeen, not later than the end of September. The White Flat 
Dutch, Early Spring and Pomerian Globe are best for spring, but also 
good for autumn. 
Early White Flat Dutch, (strap-leaved). 
Early Red or Purple Top. (Srrap-Lesvep.) This is one of 
the most popular kinds. It is flat, with a small tap-root, and a bright 
purple top. The leaves are narrow and grow erect from the bulb. The 
fiesh is finely grained and rich. 
Early White Flat Dutch. (Strap-Lesvep.) This is similarto 
the above in shape, but considered about a week earlier. It is very 
popular. 
Purple Top Giobe. A yariety of recent introduction; same 
shape as the Pomerian Globe, but with purple top. Fine variety for 
the table or for stock. It is not quite so early as the Early Red or 
Purple Top. I recommend it very highly. 
Large White Giobe. A very large variety, mostly grown for 
stock. It can be used for the table when young. Flesh coarse, but 
sweet; tops very large. . 
Pomerian Giobe. This is selected from the above. It is 
smoother and handsomer in shape; good to plant early in spring. 
When pulled before itis too large it is a very salable turnip in the 
market. 
White 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. 
Yellow Aberdeen. This is a variety very little cultivated here. 
It is shaped like the Ruta Baga, color yellow with purple top. Good 
for table use or feeding stock. 
Robertson’s Golden Bail, is the best of the yellow Turnips 
for table use. It is very smooth, oval in shape, and of a beautiful 
ofange color. Leaves are small. Should be sown in the fall of the
