Purple-Top White Globe Turnip. 



TURNIP. 



Navet, Fr. Nabo Comiin, Sp. 



For early use, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart; thin out to 6 or 9 inches in the 

 rows. For a succession, continue to sow every two weeks until June; for a fall and winter crop, sow in July and August. The 

 Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock, and are also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in November or before severe 

 frosts; cut off the tops within an inch of the crown, store in a cool cellar or pit, or pile up in a conical form, out of doors, in dry 

 ground; cover carefully with long straw, and finish by earthing up, covering them with about 12 or 15 inches of earth, leaving a 

 trench around the heap to carry off the water. Put away in this manner they will be found in good condition in the spring.
