TURNIP. 
Note. — In the turnip, as in the radish, the most common form of leaf, is 
inturruptedly, or irregularly pinnate, i. e., the leaf is pinnately divided, but 
the segments are irregularly disposed, and of unequal size. In a few 
varieties the leaves are rather distinctly lyrate, i. e. the margin deeply cut, 
but the incisions not reaching clear to the midrib. In other varieties the 
leaves are spatulate, with nearly entire margins. In the following 
descriptions, when the form of the leaf is not mentioned, it is understood 
to be interruptedly pinnate. 
The following classification is adopted in this article: 
1. Root distinctly conical, or cylindri-conical. 
A. Root white, at least in the lower part, Nos. 1-7, incl., 
also No. 40. 
B. Root yellow, at least in the lower part, No. 8. 
C. Root grayish, brown, or black, at least in the lower part, 
Nos. 9-12, incl. 
2. Root more or less distinctly oval. 
A. Root white, at least in the lower part, Nos. 13-14. 
B. Root yellow, at least in the part below ground, No. 36. 
3. Root spherical, or top-shaped. 
A. Root white, at least in the lower part, Nos. 15-20, incl. 
B. Root yellow, at least in the lower part, Nos. 21-23, incl. 
also No. 28.
