TABLE TUKNIPS
Turnips are easy to grow, but rarely do well in summer. The
spring crop must be sown in this section before April 15th, so that it
will mature before May 25th. Early Turnips should be used when
quite young in order to be tender. If they remain in the ground too
long, they are liable to be both woody and strong flavored. Turnips
grow best in the fall from seed sown from July 15th to July 25th.
The varieties grown at this season remain in good condition all winter.
For full instructions, varieties to use, etc., see "Garden Culture
of Root Crops," free if asked for.
Early Snowball Turnip
One of the best white fleshed sorts grown. It is an excellent sort
to sow very early for a spring crop, when, if used before fully grown,
it will be of particularly good quality and very tender. It may also
be used to good advantage to grow a quick crop for immediate use
in the fall, if sown during August, or even as late as September 10th.
We do not urge its' use for winter keeping, as many other sorts
are preferable. It is one of the most evenly shaped of all Turnips.
The bulbs when trimmed are almost a perfect sphere, snow white in
color, and quite free from side roots. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt.,
10c. oz., 30c. M lb., 90c. lb.
Early White Milan Turnip
An extra early variety of rapid growth with very small leaves.
It is admirably adapted for spring and early summer planting, and
if sown during the early spring, will furnish a supply of the most
tender and delicately flavored Turnips. The root is of small size,
smooth and ivory white both inside and out. The flesh is fine
grained, tender, mild and sweet in flavor, and when grown quickly
never becomes pithy or woody. It is greatly esteemed by all, and,
in addition to the heavy crop assured by its adaptability for close
planting, it is fit for use at least a week earlier than any other white
variety in cultivation. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. % lb. F $2.00 lb.
Early Ked Top Strap Leaved Turnip
This is perhaps the most popular of all the quick growing sorts,
and may be used to good advantage for the early spring crop. It
grows very rapidly under proper conditions, and in six weeks from
sowing will produce a good crop of tender roots of mild and pleasing
flavor. The leaves are short, the roots quite flat, the upper half
reddish purple, the lower half white. The flesh is pure white, crisp
and fine grained. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. \i lb., 70c. lb.
Golden Ball or "Orange Jelly" Turnip
A very distinct variety, and the finest yellow fleshed sort for
family use. It grows a very shapely bulb, medium in size, almost
round, very smooth, and quite free from side roots. The skin is
pale yellow, the flesh deep yellow throughout, and so fine in texture
as to earn the name "Orange Jelly." Sown in July it gives a very
satisfactory crop in early fall, and may be used to great advantage
during winter if properly stored. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c.
oz., 30c. \i lb., 80c. lb.
Purple Top White Globe Turnip
A very large globe-shaped variety. The upper surface of the bulb
is reddish purple, the lower part is white. It grows smooth, has a
small root and medium sized tops. The flesh is pure white, crisp,
very fine, and is one of the best sorts to store for winter. Recom-
mended for fall crop. Price, 5c. pkt, 10c. oz., 30c. J4 lb., 80c. lb.
