CULTURE— This turnip-rooted member of the Cabbage tribe is far superior to turnips in both flavor and keeping qualities. It 

 will never grow bitter and it is of far more delicate flavor. As early in the spring as the ground can be put in good garden condition, 

 sow it in rows like Radishes, Carrots or any other root crops. Thin the seedlings to stand 4 inches apart in the row, allowing 18 to 24 

 inches between the rows. The product is ready for use when the bulbs average 2 to 1\ inches in diameter. The thick outer skin should 

 be removed before boiling. Serve just like Turnips. One ounce of seed will sow a drill of about 300 feet.

 smooth root and very short top; the best variety 

 for outdoor culture as well as excellent for hotbed 

 or greenhouse culture. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 

 \ lb., 75 cts. 



431 Early White for Green) Vienna. Flesh white 

 and tender, a standard sort for table use. Has a 

 very short top and forms the root quickly. A 

 most dependable variety on all soils. Pkt., 10 cts. ; 

 oz., 25 cts.; \ lb., 75 cts. 



430 Early Purple Vienna. Skin purple, but flesh 

 white and a good quality and flavor. As early as 

 the white and more heat resistant, hence recom- 

 mended for sections where turnips turn bitter.
