pure white except a little shade of green at the top.

in the South and Southwest, where the tops are used for greens.

rich soil roots will frequently grow to twelve pounds in weight. It is of perfect globe 
shape; skin white and smooth; leaves dark green and of strong growth. 
SWEET GERMAN.—This variety is very popular in many sections, notably so in 
the New England States. It partakes largely of the nature of the Ruta Baga, and should 
be sown a month earlier than the flat turnips. The flesh is white, hard, firm and sweet, 
and it keeps nearly as well as the Ruta Baga. Highly recommended for winter and 
spring use. 
SEVEN TOP.—Cultivated extensively in the South for the tops, which are used for 
greens. It is very hardy, and will grow all winter, but does not produce a good root, 
and is only recommended for the tops.
