Rutabaga 
Rutabagas are also known as Swedish Turnips, Swedes, or 
Russian Turnips. They have firmer flesh than turnips, how¬ 
ever, are more solid, and hence keep later into spring. Like 
turnips, they are excellent for both table use and for stock 
feeding. They aie also good as a rotation crop. 
WHITE SWEET 
RUSSIAN 
Has a white flesh of a 
milder and sweeter flavor and 
contains more saccharine than 
the yellow-fleshed sorts. Ma¬ 
tures in about 80' days and is 
an extremely productive va¬ 
riety. Not so desirable for 
table use, but fine for stock.
