Culture —Turnips like cool weather and thrive 
best in Spring and Fall. 
For early turnips plant the seed as soon as 
the ground can be worked so that the roots 
are large enough for the table before hot 
weather, otherwise they will become fibrous, 
tough and bitter. Sow in good rich soil either 
broadcast or in drills /i in. deep, V/l to 2 
ft. apart and thin out to 3 to 4 ins. apart in 
the row. 
For late turnips sow late in Summer or 
early Fall. Harvest the crop after freezing 
weather, top and store in an outdoor pit or 
a cool cellar. 
EARLY RED OR PURPLE TOP FLAT 
45 Days —Early and a general favorite with 
all. Used for the table when young and for 
stock feeding when matured. Tops small, 
strap leaved and upright. Roots flat, 3 to 5 
ins. in diameter and half as thick; white with 
purplish-red top. Flesh white, fine grained 
and mild. 
BUIST’S MAMMOTH 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE 
60 to 65 Days —This very fine selection com 
tinues to be the most popular and our best 
seller. Beside being the largest and very best 
strain on the market, it is the most valuable 
and salable variety grown. Planted either 
early or late it is a sure cropper producing 
an enormous yield of uniform, handsome tur- 
nips excellent for bunching or topped. It is 
the best white fleshed variety for table use, 
the standard for home, market garden and 
shipping. For stock feeding grow to full size. 
Tops medium large, erect and cut-leaved. 
Roots globular, 4 to 6 ins. in diameter, white 
with purple top, very smooth. Flesh white, 
fine grained, sweet and tender. 
POMERANIAN OR LARGE WHITE 
GLOBE 
70 Days —Although grown extensively for 
stock feeding, producing a heavy yield per 
acre when matured, it is good for table use 
when pulled young. Tops large, cut-leaved.

diameter, white throughout with flesh firm and 
somewhat coarse in texture. 
EARLY WHITE FLAT DUTCH

rieties for home and market gar¬ 
deners. Tops small, erect and strap 
leaved. Roots flat, 3 to 5 ins. in
