TURNIP 



Ger. Steckrube. Fr. \avt. 

 One ounce ivill sow 200 feet of drill. 

 For the spring crop sow the different early 

 kinds as early as the seed can be got into the 

 ground in drills 14 inches apart, and thin to 

 five or six Inches. For the fall or main crop, 

 sow, at the north, from the middle of July to 

 the last of August, in drills as directed for 

 the spring sowing. In the field the turnips 

 are more generally sown broadcast 'though 

 much the larger crops are obtained by drill 

 culture. Always sow your Turnips as soon 

 after a rain as the ground can be raked, or 

 harrowed fine if possible. If sown before a 

 heavy rain there is formed a crust which 

 generally smothers the sprouting seed. One 

 pound is sufficient to sow an acre. Our Tur- 

 nip and Ruta-Baga Seed is grown from 

 selected roots and is of excellent quality.

Hardy White Winter Turnip 



HARDY WHITE WINTER. This fine vari- 

 ety we find to be one of the sweetest and 

 the most tender in flavor we have ever eat- 

 en. As shown in the illustration it differs 

 from all other varieties, being conical 

 shape like the Ox-heart Carrot. It grows 

 to large size, still it grows rapidly and 

 cannot be surpassed for late sowing, for 

 use in Autumn and Winter. The root is 

 pure white, very smooth, and grows almost 

 entirely in the ground; being very hardy, it 

 can be dug late and is one of the best keep- 

 ers. The flesh is crisp, sweet, and of ex- 

 cellent quality. It will become a great
