Purple Top Yellow Rutabaga 
TURNIPS 
Culture — Spring sowing should be puffin early, so that they will attain a good size before 
hot weather. For the regular crop, sow the early sorts in July or August, the later sorts 
during August, and the salad varieties during August and September. Sow either broadcast 
or in drills 2 feet apart, thinning out to 6 inches and roll the ground after sowing. Cover 
the seed about % inch. Sow 1 pound to acre in drills, 2 pounds broadcast. Rutabaga or 
Swede should be sown in July, and always in drills 20 inches apart, and then the plants 
thinned out to stand 6 inches. As the plants grow ridge up to them, otherwise they will 
form no bulbs.

coming very popular in the South. Especially 
valuable for turnip greens, which are always in 
good demand during the late spring and summer 
months in the South. The leaves grow upright, 
about 2 feet high when fully developed, which

roots are pure white, between flat and globe in 
shape ; however, this wonderful new sort is more 
largely planted for the tops than the roots.

roots, flesh white, solid, sweet and fine-grained, maturing in about 75 days.
