Early Purple Top Flat 


Early Purple Top White Globe 
Dependable Table Turnips 
An ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. If sown in drills, 
one pound is required for an acre; if sown broadcast, less 
seed is sufficient if sown evenly. 
Culture: For early, sow seed of flat varieties in open 
ground in spring in drills 1 foot or more apart, using seed 
sparingly. Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart. For succession, sow 
every 2 weeks until June. For fall and winter, sow in July 
and August. A good crop may often be grown by scat- 
tering seed thinly in the cornfield at last cultivation. For 
rutabagas, sow seed in seed-bed in spring and transplant 
to good warm soil in rows at least 2 feet apart and 8 to 
10 inches apart in the rows, or sow in open ground during 
June and early July. Take up roots just before winter, 
top and store in cool cellar, or pit outdoors.
