Improved Purple Top Ruta Baga. 
Extra Early White French, or White Eggs Turnip. -This 
is a lately introduced 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 represented, quickly growing, tenderand sweet. It will never be- 
come a favorite market variety, as only flat kinds sell well in this 
market. It has to be pulled up soon, as it beeomes pithy shortly after 
attaining maturity.
