Excerpt from Delano Bros. Catalogue of Choice Field and Garden Seeds, Lee Park, Custer Co., Nebraska, 1890 The Ruta Baga, Swedish, or Russian Turnip is extensively grown for a farm crop; the roots are close grained, very hard, and will endure a considerable degree of cold without injury. They are best preserved in a pit or cellar during the winter, and are excellent for the table early in spring. Sow from the 20th of June to the middle of July, in drills two feet apart, and thin out to eight inches in the rows. Extra Early Purple Top Munich - This turnip occupies the same place among the turnips that the Egyptian variety does among beets, being the earliest of all. Is flat shaped.
