Purple Top White Globe Turnip 
Turnips are a cool-season crop. 
They should be sown as early in 
spring as the garden can be 
worked, or in late summer for 
autumn and winter use. They 
may be broadcast or grown in 
rows, properly thinned, and the 
sweetest and best Turnips are 
always grown in new, fresh 
ground. They should not be 
allowed to stand after they are 
ready for use, otherwise they 
will become hard, pithy, and 
woody. 
Rutabagas mature later, are 
generally bigger, and have firmer 
flesh. They are just as good as 
Turnips for the table and have 
excellent cooking qualities.
