Turnip 
(NaVone, Nabe, Weisse Rueben) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill; 2 pounds an acre. Turnips 
should be grown quickly to be of the best quality and should be sown in good, deep, 
rich soil. Sow from March to the last of August, as you want the crop to mature, in 
drills 12 to 18 inches apart, or broadcast if preferred, using about 2 pounds of seed 
per acre. Rutabagas require a longer time to mature and should be sown earlier in 
the season. They also require more space and should be planted further apart. The Fly 
or Flea Beetle is very destructive to turnips, especially during dry weather. The 
dusting of lime or plaster on the plants when the fly or beetle appears will often check 
them. * 
EXTRA EARLY WHITE MILAN —Remarkably early; top very small, upright and com¬ 
pact, so that rows can be planted close together. Roots clear white, very smooth, 
fiat and symmetrical; flesh white, sweet and tender. The best sort for growing 
under sash. 
EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN —Similar to White Milan, except roots are a 
little flatter and purple-red on upper portion. 
SNOWBALL (Early) —A quick-growing, ball-shaped, pure white variety, with short 
top and free from bitter taste.
