Culture. The Turnips require a rich soil. When grown quickly they 

 are more solid and tender and may be grown either as an early or late crop. 

 For an early crop sow early in Spring soon as soil can be worked in drills 

 18 inches apart. Thin out to stand 3 inches apart. These will be ready for 

 use before hot weather develops. Late Turnips are usually sown broadcast 

 on land from which some early crop has been Removed, during July or 

 August. The roots need not be gathered until after several frosts. May be 

 stored for Winter use in cellar or pits outside. Before storing the tops 

 should be removed. 



Ruta Baga are usually sown in June in drills 30 inches apart. Thin 

 out to stand 6 inches apart in row. 



313. Purple Top White Globe. As a profitable sort for 

 home or market it is unsurpassed. It is a large, rapid growing 

 sort, with globular shaped roots. Flesh pure white. The skin is 

 white and purple, the under portion being white and the top 

 bright purple. (See illustration.) On account of its shape, it 

 will outyield any other sort.
