EARLIEST RED TOP. TURNIP, (Ruta Baga.) The Ruta Baga, Sweedish, or Russian Turnip, known to many under the name of "French Tur- nip," forms a distinct class. The bulbs are close grained, very hard, and will endure a cousiderable degree of cold without injury. They keep well, stored in a cellar the whole winter, but are not in perfection for the table till toward spring. Ex- tensiveiy grown as a farm crop. The Sweeds at the north should be sown *iom the tenth of June till the first of July, in drills from two to three feet apart, and thinned from 10 to 12 inches apart, or they may be sown in a seed bed and after- wards transplanted. It is necessary that the ground should be dry and made very rich. Improved American. This variety is largely grown in this country by many of the most prom- inent agriculturists, both for the table and for feeding stock; flesh very solid, yellow, of fine quality and keeps well until summer.
