TURNIP 
CULTURE—Turnips do best in highly enriched, light, sandy 
or gravel soil. Commence sowing early varieties in April in 
drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out early to 4 to 6 
inches in the rows. For a succession, sow at intervals of a 
fortnight until the last week in July, from which time until 
the end of August sowing may be done for the main crop. One 
ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; ly^ pounds to an acre. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Early White Flat Dutch, Strap Leaved. This is a popular early 
turnip for table use. For autumn and early winter use, this 
and the purple top are highly popular. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 
30c; lb. 75c. 
Purple Top, Strap Leaved. The standard of this part of the 
country. Superior for early or late planting. Round, flat, 
good sized, small top with but few leaves; flesh very fine 
grained, good flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 30c; lb. 75c. 
Early White Egg. A quick growing, egg-shaped, perfectly 
smooth, pure white variety, growing half out of the ground 
with small top and rough leaves. Its smooth, white skin and 
quick growth make it peculiarly desirable for market pur¬ 
poses. The flesh is very sweet, firm and mild, never having 
the rank, strong taste of some varieties. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c: 
^ lb. 30c; lb. 75c. 
Extra Hardy White Milan. The earliest in cultivation. The 
bulb is very flat, of medium size, quite smooth. It is a pure 
white, thus making it especially desirable for forcing. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 15c; ^4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.00. 
Amber Globe or Strap Leaved. One of the best varieties for 
table use or for a field crop for stock. Flesh yellow, fine 
grained and sweet, color of skin yellow with green top. Hardy, 
keeps well, a good cropper, grows to a very large size. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 15c; ^4 lb. 35c; lb. 90c. 
Extra Early Purple Top Milan. A bright purple top, leaves 
few, short and light of color, growing very compact, and mak¬

an excellent keeper. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.00. 
Golden Ball (or Orange Jel). Undoubtedly one of the most deli¬ 
cate and sweetest yellow-fleshed turnips yet introduced. Not 
of large size, but firm, hard and most excellent flavor. Keeps 
well and is superior as a table variety. It is extensively used 
by market gardeners. Pkt, 5c; oz. 15c; M lb. 30c; lb. 75c.

attractive and admired by all. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 30c;

Yellow Purple Top Rutabaga. Hardy and productive, flesh 
yellow, of solid texture, sweet and well flavored; shape slightly 
oblong, terminating abruptly with no side or bottom roots; 
color deep purple above and bright yellow under the ground; 
leaves small light green, with little or no neck; the most per¬ 
fect in form, the richest in flavor, and the very best in every 
respect. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 30c; lb. 75c. 
Monarch or Tankard. This is a yellow sort, having very large 
tankard-shaped roots; flesh very solid, fine grained of fine 
flavor; grows well out of the ground and yields large crops. 
Pkt, 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
White Sweet Russian. Flesh white, hard and firm, partaking

oz. 15c; % lb. 30c; lb. 75c.
