Tnrnip Greens.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. & D. no. 33266.    Sample no. 6263-B.)
This case involved a shipment of canned turnip greens that were sour 
and decomposed.
On or about August 22, 1934, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Florida, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 33 cases of 
canned turnip greens at Jacksonville, Fla., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce, on or about December 16, 1931, by the Pomona 
Products Co., from Griffin, Ga., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Georgia Belle Brand 
Turnip Greens   *    *    *   Packed by Pomona Products Co.   Griffin, Ga."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On September 12, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and destruction of the product was ordered.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
