Robertson's 

 Golden 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, 



P urple Top 

 Ruta Bag:a or 

 S\i^ede. This is

 table use. It is ob-

Extra Early White French. 



Pomerian Globe, 

 flesh, very solid. Should always 

 be sown in rows or ridges. 



Improved Purple Top 

 Ruta JSa^^a. Similar to the

Extra Early ^W Si i t e 

 Frencii, or l»Vtaite Egg 

 Turnip. This is a lately intro- 

 duced 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 Row- 

 ing, tender and sweet. It never 

 will become a favorite market 

 variety, 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.
