Download or read book Vegetable Gardening in Alaska (Classic Reprint) written by Charles Christian Georgeson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vegetable Gardening in Alaska The Petrowski turnip deserves to be described somewhat in detail. The seed was introduced from northern Europe into Alaska through the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction, United States Department of Agriculture. The seed was first grown at the Sitka station in 1906 and designated Petrowski No. 19554. It proved to be so superior to other varieties that the seed has been grown and distributed by the stations for many years. In addition to its fine table qualities, the Petrowski turnip is comparatively free from root maggot attack. The variety has a flat root with a concavity in the bottom from which a single slender root emerges. The root is medium in size, about 4 to 6 inches in diameter, is yellow, and has a tough skin. The true type is perfectly symmetrical in Shape and has no side roots, and the leaves are small and Spread horizontally on the ground. The variety does not keep well; after a few months in storage it becomes dry and pithy. Settlers in Alaska have with practical unanimity pronounced the Petrowski the best turnip for the far north. Rutabagas are a variety of turnip. They require a longer growing season and can not be grown successfully as far north as can the turnip: (see p.
