RUTABAGA OR SWEDE 



PURPLE-TOP YELLOW GLOBE 



Days to maturity, 115-130. The Rutabaga, as compared to the Turnip, requires a longer season 

 for development and is more highly esteemed as a real Winter vegetable. The Turnip is better adapted 

 to the early market. Its flesh is not as firm as Rutabaga, and generally speaking, the Rutabaga has a 

 rougher surface than the turnip and is not so symmetrical. This feature is brought out in the above 

 illustration. They are, however, better keepers and are more highly prized for stock-feeding. Our 

 stock of Yellow Globe Rutabaga has a small top and is practically neckless. It will grow to a large 

 size and will be found of excellent table quality. The color is a rich golden yellow with a definite fringe of purpl 

 around the upper edge. The Rutabaga is usually plante<l in rows, not later than June. We recommend that the> b
