GARDEN TURNIP. 
(Brassica Rapa.) French, Navet potager. 
Cultural Notes.—An early crop of small bulbs may be grown by sowing in January or February on a very gentle hotbed, as prescribed for early 
Radishes. In February and March, quick-growing varieties may also be sown on a sheltered warm border, to be carefully watched and protected when 
unkind weather prevails. To form a succession, sow again in April and May. A fine tilth is wanted for the seed, and the drills should be spaced from 
twelve to fifteen inches apart. Commence thinning by the hoe as soon as the rough leaves appear, but the later process of singling must be done by 
hand. The distance at which the plants are to be left in the rows may vary from six to nine inches, according to the vigour of the variety. The 
principal sowings for autumn and winter supplies are made in June and July, but seed may also be sown in August. On the approach of winter, a certain 
portion of the crop may be lifted and stored. In doing this the tops must be cut off, but not too close. The roots that remain in the ground will produce 
a good crop of spring greens, which often prove of great value. For late crops seed is often sown broadcast, the roots being pulled as they mature. 
Sutton’s Early Snowball. = The earliest and most perfectly formed round white Turnip 
for garden use. Our stock has been continuously selected for many years, resulting in a 
beautiful shape, with short top and a single tap-root. Flesh snowy white, solid, and mild 
in favour. Snowball has probably been awarded more First Prizes than any other Turnip, 
and recent successes prove that it is still unsurpassed for exhibition. Awards of Merit, 
R.H.S., 1913 and 1919. (See illustration in colours, page 24) per ounce, 8d.; pint, 4s. 6d.

GARDEN SWEDE. 
The two varieties of Swede we offer are eminently adapted for garden cultivation. Tops 
very short, roots clean and well shaped. These Swedes withstand severe weather better than 
Turnips, and prolong the supply of a wholesome vegetable. Seed may be sown from April to 
July, and the culture is in all respects the same as for Turnip.
