TURNIPS. [_Page 59._
1. Turnips are grown both in fields and gardens. The tops are green. The
turnip is almost round; but it tapers towards the bottom. Most of the
turnip grows under ground; but we can see part of it above ground when
nearly ripe.
2. Turnips are good for food. Sheep and cattle are fond of them. Animals
eat them raw. We boil them. Raw turnips are not good for us. Pigs will
eat the rinds which we peel off.
3. Turnips are white or yellow, sweet, juicy, wholesome.
