Japanese Foliage Turnip 
Japanese Foliage Turnip 
A Hot Weather Turnip. Edible Tops and Roots 
If you like greens and sweet tender turnips you can hare both by planting tiiis new Japanese variety. Trials have shown it to 
be superior in many respects to most of the varieties generally cultivated in America. The leaves grow upright, about, two feet 
high when fully developed, but should be cut before they attain full growth. Early cuttings will allow another and probably two 
cuttings later. During a warm growing season it will be ready to cut in about four weeks. The leaves are much like those of 
broad leaved mustard, are of rich dark green color and are of delicate flavor and crisp and tender. If in gathering for greens, 
plants are left in the row about 4 inches apart, they will produce an abundant crop of roots which will remain tender and of 
excellent quality for table use throughout the entire growing season. The roots are pure white, between flat and globe shape. 
This is a most desirable and valuable variety for growing in both the North and the South. It is rapidly taking the place of 
Seventop in the South, as it is relatively free of insect pests and diseases, therefore being more easily grown and easier to clean. 
Another attractive feature of this variety is that it will grow and thrive in hot, dry weather. Pkt., 8c; oz., 12c; Vi lb., 30c;
