Turnips do best in new ground. When the soil has been worked long it should re- 

 ceive a top dressing of land-plaster or ashes. If stable manure is used the ground should 

 be manured the spring previous to sowing, so it may be well incorporated with the soil. 

 When fresh manure is used the turnips are apt to become speckled. Sow from end of 

 July to October for fall and winter, and in January, February and March for spring and 

 summer use. They are generally sown broadcast, but the Ruta Baga should be sown in 

 drills, or rather ridges, and 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 Pomeranian Globe are the best for spring, but also good for autumn. 



\ Early Red or Purple Top. (Strap- 

 Leaved.) Tdis is one of the most popular 

 kind?. It is flat, with a small tap-root and 

 a bright purple top. The leaves are narrow 

 and grow erect from the bulb. The flesh is 

 finely grained and rich. 



Early White Flat Dutch. (Strap- 

 Leaved.) This is similar to the above in 

 shape, but considered about a week earlier. 

 It is very popular. 



- Purple Top Globe. Of same shape as 

 the Pomeranian Globe, but with purple top. 

 Fine variety for table or stock. It is not 

 quite so eaVly as the Early Red or Purple 

 Top. We recommend it very highly. 



Yellow Aberdeen. This is a variety 

 very little cultivated here. It is shaped 

 like the Ruta Baga, color yellow with pur- 

 ple top. Good for table use or feeding 

 stock. 



White Spring. This is similar to the 

 White Flat Dutch; not quite so large, but 

 round in shape. The tops are large, it is

earlyVa good quality, and best adapted for 

 spring planting. 



' Robertson's Golden Ball. Is the best 

 of the Yellow Turnips for table use. It is 

 very smooth, oval in shape, and of a beau- 

 tiful 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.
