The superiority of the Swedish turnips was rendered more evident by the results of subsequent experiments. Nos. 1 and 4 were not tried after the 11th February; but Nos. 2 and 3 were kept under experiment. No. 2 was put on Swedes, and No. 3 on mangel-wurtzel, and after an interval of a fortnight No. 2 had increased much more than they had done on Kohl-rabi. Specimens of the Kohl-rabi and Swedish turnips employed in this experiment were submitted to me for analysis by Mr. Baldwin, and yielded the following results:-- Swedish Kohl-rabi. Turnip. Water 87·62 88·84 Nitrogenous, or flesh-forming principles 2·24 1·66 Non-nitrogenous, or fat-forming principles 7·78 6·07 Woody fibre 1·34 2·73 Mineral matter (ash) 1·22 0·70 ------ ------ 100·00 100·00 These results show a slight superiority of the Kohl-rabi over the Swedish turnip; the great difference in their nutritive power, as shown by Mr. Baldwin's experimental results, must therefore be due to the superior flavor and digestibility of the turnip.
