TURNIPS 
All Prices Postpaid Unless Otherwise Noted 
CULTURE: Turnip is one of the first seeds to be 
sown in the spring. As soon as the ground can be 
worked, spade or plow deeply, and prepare the sur- 
face finely, raking off all clods and trash. Sow the 
seeds at once in the freshly dug soil; sow very thinly 
in rows 1 to 3 feet apart, or broadcast by raking the 
seeds into the soil 2 inch deep. When up, thin 
out to 3 inches apart. Soil should not be allowed 
to become hard and dry, for turnips to be good and 
mild must be grown quickly. Sowings at intervals 
of 10 days can be made until the end of August. 
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. (Selected Strain.) 55 
to 60 days. More of this variety is planted than 
all other varieties combined, mainly due to three 
characteristics: First, fine appearance, being 
globe-shaped, flesh firm and white, skin smooth, 
pure white, except crown or upper portion, which 
is richly colored, maroon to deep purple. Second, 
it is exceptionally sweet and mild. Flesh is crisp, 
not stringy. Third, it is a quick grower and the 
yield is heavy; a good keeper.
