white turnip

They look like an old-fashioned white turnip, and they float under the water, and when a ship strikes one it blows up.

And the white-turnip, which is at best but a poor thing, and often half putrid, makes miserable butter.

As a cure, Dr. Handel recommends the juice of the white turnip to be given to drink instead of water.

"Don't forget how good the white turnip is for chilblains," said the Scotchman.

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