_ Burpee’s TURNIPS 
At their best when growth is made during cool weather. Plant the Extra Early , 
Milan varieties in the spring for their roots and the foliage types for their tops 
which are much used for “greens.”’ Sow any variety in late summer for fall use or 
storing of the roots for use during the winter—Purple-Top White Globe being 
the most popular variety. Frost improves the flavor of foliage turnips,
