Japanese Turnip 
THIS VARIETY IS FROM THE LAND OF THE MIKADO 
A Large, Tender and Sweet Turnip, Deserving Universal Trial 
This grand turnip is a large white variety, of great merit, and comes 
directly from Japan; in fact, the seed which we offer was actually grown 
in Japan, and was imported expressly for this season’s sales. Theshape | 
of the turnip, as Shown in the illustration, is between flat and globe. The 
color is a pure white, both outside and inside, except that there is a pale 
linting of green on top, near the leayes. As it is a large turnip it has 
correspondingly large and vigorous leaves. It is solid and meaty in 
celled, and we are able to recoinmend it highly to farmers and garden- 
riety has become quite popular, and is now largely grown.
