Munich Extra Early Purple Top. 
Extra Early Purple Top 
Munich. A new kind from Ger- 
many; flat, with red or purple top; 
same as the American variety, but 
fifteen days earlier to mature. It is 
very hardy, tender, and of fine 
flavor. 
Improved Purple Top 
Ruta Baga. This is grown for 
feeding stock, and also for table use. 
It is oblong in shape, yellow flesh, 
very solid. Should always be sown 
in rows or ridges. 
Long Island Purple Top 
Ruta Baga. This kind is purely 
of American origin. The root is 
smoother than the foregoing variety; 
the flesh is of golden yellow, fine 
grained and solid; it is earlier to ma- 
ture. ‘The stock I have is expressly 
grown for me on Long Island and 
cannot be surpassed. Cannot be too 
highly recommended. 
Extra Early White 
French, or White Egg 
Turnip. This is a lately intro- 
duced variety; is said to be very 
early; tender and crisp. ‘The shape 
of it is oblong, resembling an egg. 
Having tried it, I found it as repre- 
sented, quickly growing, tender and 
sweet. It will never become a favorite 
market variety, as only flat kinds sell 
well in this market. It has to be 
pulled up soon, as it becomes pithy 
shortly after attaining maturity.
