TABLE TUKNIPS 



Turnips are easy to grow, but rarely do well in summer. The 

 spring crop must be sown in this section before April 15th, so that it 

 will mature before May 25th. Early Turnips should be used when 

 quite young in order to be tender. If they remain in the ground too 

 long, they are liable to be both woody and strong flavored. Turnips 

 grow best in the fall from seed sown from July 15th to July 25th. 

 The varieties grown at this season remain in good condition all winter. 



For full instructions, varieties to use, etc., see "Garden Culture 

 of Root Crops," free if asked for. 



Early Snowball Turnip 



One of the best white fleshed sorts grown. It is an excellent sort 

 to sow very early for a spring crop, when, if used before fully grown, 

 it will be of particularly good quality and very tender. It may also 

 be used to good advantage to grow a quick crop for immediate use 

 in the fall, if sown during August, or even as late as September 10th. 

 We do not urge its' use for winter keeping, as many other sorts 

 are preferable. It is one of the most evenly shaped of all Turnips. 

 The bulbs when trimmed are almost a perfect sphere, snow white in 

 color, and quite free from side roots. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 

 10c. oz., 30c. M lb., 90c. lb. 



Early White Milan Turnip 



An extra early variety of rapid growth with very small leaves. 

 It is admirably adapted for spring and early summer planting, and 

 if sown during the early spring, will furnish a supply of the most 

 tender and delicately flavored Turnips. The root is of small size, 

 smooth and ivory white both inside and out. The flesh is fine 

 grained, tender, mild and sweet in flavor, and when grown quickly 

 never becomes pithy or woody. It is greatly esteemed by all, and, 

 in addition to the heavy crop assured by its adaptability for close 

 planting, it is fit for use at least a week earlier than any other white 

 variety in cultivation. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. % lb. F $2.00 lb. 



Early Ked Top Strap Leaved Turnip 



This is perhaps the most popular of all the quick growing sorts, 

 and may be used to good advantage for the early spring crop. It 

 grows very rapidly under proper conditions, and in six weeks from 

 sowing will produce a good crop of tender roots of mild and pleasing 

 flavor. The leaves are short, the roots quite flat, the upper half 

 reddish purple, the lower half white. The flesh is pure white, crisp 

 and fine grained. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. \i lb., 70c. lb. 



Golden Ball or "Orange Jelly" Turnip 



A very distinct variety, and the finest yellow fleshed sort for 

 family use. It grows a very shapely bulb, medium in size, almost 

 round, very smooth, and quite free from side roots. The skin is 

 pale yellow, the flesh deep yellow throughout, and so fine in texture 

 as to earn the name "Orange Jelly." Sown in July it gives a very 

 satisfactory crop in early fall, and may be used to great advantage 

 during winter if properly stored. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. 

 oz., 30c. \i lb., 80c. lb. 



Purple Top White Globe Turnip 



A very large globe-shaped variety. The upper surface of the bulb 

 is reddish purple, the lower part is white. It grows smooth, has a 

 small root and medium sized tops. The flesh is pure white, crisp, 

 very fine, and is one of the best sorts to store for winter. Recom- 

 mended for fall crop. Price, 5c. pkt, 10c. oz., 30c. J4 lb., 80c. lb.
