Japanese Turnip (Shoigoin) 
i 
If you like greens and sweet 
tender green turnips you can 
have both by planting this 
new Japanese variety. Trials 
have shown it to be superior 
in many respects to most of 
the varieties generally culti¬ 
vated in America. The leaves 
grow upright, about two feet 
high when fully developed, 
but should be cut before they 
attain full growth. A decided 
acquisition to both the Turnip 
and the Greens classes. It 
produces an abundance of 
tender delicately flavored 
leaves and later a full crop 
of very tender Turnips.
