PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE—The best for the Northwest 
Sow in drills about two feet apart and half an inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure to 
have the ground rich and freshly stirred. Thin early and keep free from weeds, so that the young plants will 
not be checked in growth. Any over-crowding will result in rough and poorly-flavored roots. It is important to 
get the spring and summer crop started very early, so that the turnips may have time to grow to sufficient size 
before hot weather causes them to become tough and bitter. 
In Middle and Western States sow for fall and main crop middle of July to last of August, and in the 
manner given for spring sowing. In the field turnips are often sown broadcast, though in most cases better 
results are obtained by drill culture. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE 
This excellent table variety is globular in shape, of 
good size and very attractive appearance. The roots are 
large, purple or dark red above ground, white below. 
The flesh is white, fine grained and tender. The roots 
when in best condition for the table are about three 
inches in diameter, but can be grown much larger 
for stock feeding. This sort keeps well for so early a 
variety and is one of the best for market use. It is also 
known as Red Top White Globe. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

EXTRA EARLY WHITE MILAN 
This variety is remarkably early. The tops are very 
small, strap-leaved, upright and compact, so that rows 
can be planted close together. The roots are clear 
white, very smooth, flat and are of best quality when 
only about two inches in diameter. The flesh is clear 
white, mild, sweet and tender. Very desirable for 
early use, especially for forcing. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c;

EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN 
Similar to Extra Early White Milan, except that the

all, the Milan turnips leave nothing more to be desired 
in the way of an extra early garden turnip. Per pkt.
