TURNIPS (B. rapa) 600 seeds per packet. Best grown as an autumn crop, planted a 4-8 weeks before first frost of fall. Sow in place, covering the seed no more than a quarter inch or so. Thin the plants to stand at least 4-6 inches apart in all directions. Thinnings may be used as greens if sufficiently large; an occasional leaf can also be picked from among the tender leaves emerging in the centers of larger plants. Turnips may be sown in early spring and will succeed where there is sufficient cooler weather for 60-75 days after sowing. Prolonged hot weather makes ripening turnips strong-tasting and woody.

Petrowski     New!
A nice yellow turnip with sweet, flat roots that mature quickly. In 1916 Burpee's catalog stated, "A most distinct variety of early maturity. The flat roots average two and a half to three inches in diameter, and the skin is a rich deep orange-yellow, very smooth and entirely free from small rootlets. The firm solid flesh is fine-grained, crisp, light orange-yellow in color, and having a flavor which is much richer and sweeter than any of the early white-fleshed sorts." This old turnip was introduced to England in 1879 by Suttons, who imported it from Germany, and around 1915 this variety was very important in Alaskan agriculture. A great variety for home and market.
