pomme blanche

We plucked the pears of the pitahaya, and ate them greedily; we found service-berries, yampo, and roots of the “pomme blanche.”

One of these was the species of turnip already mentioned as the pomme-blanche, or Indian turnip.

From the vegetable kingdom they obtain many roots; the pomme blanche, or white turnip, is very common in their prairies.

A wooden dish was set before each of us, containing boiled beaver's tail, with prairie turnips (pomme blanche).

They had likewise tasted the pomme blanche, and several other vegetables, but considered the maize as the best of all.
