520 |a"The rutabaga (Brassica napus, Napobrassica group) is a member of the Cruciferae family. Rutabagas are grown in all provinces in Canada, however, for the most part, significant commercial production is limited to British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces. Rutabaga is closely related to cole crops, being an interspecies hybrid bred in Switzerland (summer turnip x winter white cabbage). The rutabaga was introduced into England around the end of the 18th century and was called the turnip-rooted cabbage. Both white and yellow fleshed varieties exist. The rutabaga root consists of both true root and true stem. The upper portion of the stem forms a neck, which distinguishes rutabagas from turnips. Rutabaga is a Norwegian term for a "Swede'' turnip. The rutabaga is normally a biennial plant, requiring two years to complete its entire life cycle, from seed to seed. However only one growing season is required for the production of the edible root, which is the commercial product"--p. 5.
