Stratford Evening Post, Volume XXV, Issue 56, 9 March 1915, Page 6

A line specimen of a purple-top Aberdeen turnip was brought into the “Stratford Evening Post” office today by Mr Mounsey, of Bird Road. It was taken from a crop, which was the fourth root one in succession, in a held on Mr Mounsey’s farm, and the specimen in question weighed 8 lbs. The previous crops were turnips (two crops) and mangolds (two crops). It is interesting to note the amoipit of manure per acre which was used on the land, being |cwt super-phos-phate, £cwt basic slag, i'cwt blood and bone, 201 i) sulphate of potash, and .20 lb ammonia. The crop was put in on November 29th, the late sowing being due to the failure of the previous one owing to the fly. The sliaws measured 2ft 6in in length, while the growth of the specimen' as a whole, went to disprove the generally accepted theory that turnips do not do well after mangolds.
