Extra Early Munich resembles this very closely, perhaps 

 a few days later and less reliable than the Extra Early Milan. 



Red-Top Strap- Leaf. The 

 old reliable fall turnip, flat, white 

 with red or purplish top. Red- 

 Top White Globe is introduced as 

 a round, consequently more pro- 

 ductive sort of this type. 



Early Flat Dutch. A fine 

 white garden turnip, resembling 

 Red-Top in shape. 



White Egg. Of egg shape 

 and quite handsome and productive.
