Improved Purple or Bed Top Globe Turnip. 



This excellent table variety is globular in shape, 

 of good size and very attractive appearance. The 

 roots are large, purple or dark red above ground, 

 white below. The flesh is white, fine grained and 

 tender. The roots when in best condition for the 

 table are about three inches in diameter, but can 

 be grown much larger for stock feeding. This 

 sort keeps well for so early a variety, and is one 

 of the best for market use. It is also known as 

 Red Top White Globe.

For early use, sow the small sorts as soon as the ground can be worked 

 in the spring, in drills 14 inches apart, the Rutabagas 30 inches. As the 

 seed is very fine, it should be covered but slightly, excepting in very dry 

 weather. Select light, and if possible, new soil and manure with plaster 

 and ashes or phosphates. Should the young plants be troubled with in- 

 sects, a sprinkling of slug shot will be beneficial. For fall and winter use 

 the early kinds should be sown, from the middle of July to the middle of 

 August, and the Rutabagas from the middle of June to the first of July,, 

 using from one to one and a half pounds of seed to the acre.
