Turnips 
For early crop, sow as soon as the ground can be prepared, 
in drills 15 inches apart, and thin the plants to stand 6 inches 
apart. Sow, for succession, at intervals of two weeks until the 
last week in July, and from that time onward until the last of 
August, sow for main crop. The sowings should always be 
made just before a rain, if possible, as the success of the crop 
depends in a great measure upon quick germination and rapid 
growth in the young plants. 
Early Red-topped Globe Turnip 
One ounce of seed will sow 250 feet of drill; 1 to 3 pounds, an acre 
Budlong White Rock. Obtained by years of selection and 
grows much smoother than White Rock. 
Early Red-topped Globe. 60 days. A large, handsome, 
globe-shaped Turnip; excellent for the table and extensively 
grown and pitted for fall and winter use. Remarkable for 
its heavy yield per acre.

rapidly and is fine-grained, sweet, delicate-flavored, and 
solid. 
Early White Milan. 47 days. Very early; pure white; of 
fine quality. 
Golden Ball. 60 days. Most delicate yellow-fleshed Turnip 
we know of. Medium size, firm, hard, and of superior flavor. 
An excellent table variety. 
Macomber. Resembles White Rock, but much earlier. A 
favorite in some sections. 
Purple-Top Strap-Leaf. 56 days. Grown largely for fall 
and winter crops.

the country where it is highly esteemed for its excellent 
keeping qualities. Large; white; fine quality.

standard white winter Turnip.
