White Egg Turnip 
For the main crop the old rule is best, “Sow 
Turnips the 25th of July, wet or dry”. Fine crops, 
however, are matured if sown early in August. A 
liberal dressing of commercial fertilizer will give the 
best crop. Sow broadcast and rake in well. For 
summer use sow the early flat varieties as early 
as the ground can be worked, in drills fourteen 
inches apart. Cover lightly and thin to six to eight 
inches. Never use fresh manure in growing turnips. 
One ounce to 200 feet of drill , 1 to 2 pounds to the acre 
Early White Milan — Solid, clear-white roots of 
splendid quality. Medium sized, flat and clear 
waxy white. Extremely early and desirable for 
market purposes. 
Purple Top Strap Leaf—A rather flat turnip, 
clear white with a red or purple top. They grow 
very rapidly and are of fine quality. 
White Egg—A slightly oval turnip with pure 
white skin. It has fine table qualities and is 
popular for market as well. 
Purple Top White Globe—A large, globe shaped, 
pure white turnip with a purple top. It is 
identical with the strap leaf varieties, excepting 
that it is globe shaped instead of flat. 
Yellow Globe—One of the old favorites. It is 
medium sized, round and smooth and the flesh 
is yellow and of good quality. 
Japanese Foliage — A quick growing Turnip 
much relished for the tops which are extensively 
used for greens. 
RUTA BAGAS 
The Ruta Bagas are late turnips which generally 
grow larger, are sweeter and have firm, hard flesh 
which makes them better winter keepers than the 
other varieties of turnips. They may be stored in 
the cellar or in pits of sand, and will retain their 
good qualities almost indefinitely. In general it is 
best to sow Ruta Bagas earlier than the common 
turnips. 
American Purple Top Yellow—A very produc¬ 
tive type with yellow flesh, solid, sweet and fine 
flavored. It is equally good for stock or table use 
and is generally considered the best of all yellow 
Turnips. 
Macomber—The Macomber is sweet and fine 
grained and is unsurpassed for table qualities. 
The root is white with purplish green tops, 
smooth, round and attractive in appearance. 
Where quality is appreciated this Turnip will find 
a ready market. We consider it the most desirable 
of all Ruta Bagas. 
White Rock—An early Ruta Baga, round, hard 
and white. The flesh is firm and sweet and keeps 
well. It is equally good for table use or for stock 
feeding. 
Early Golden Neckless — A favorite creamy- 
yellow globe shaped winter Turnip. The flesh 
is fine grained and sweet and the root has an 
extremely small neck. It is a heavy yielder and 
a good keeper.
