RED OR PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE TURNIP. 



686 Red or Purple Top 

 White Globe 



One of the handsomest and most salable tui-- 

 nips. For home or market it is unsiirpassed. 

 It is a large, rapid growing sort, with globu- 

 lar shaped roots. Flesh pure white, and the 

 best flavored, of all turnips, raw or cooked. 

 The skin is white, with a purple top. On ac- 

 count of its shape it will outyield anv other 

 sort. Like Red or Purple Top Strap Leaf it is 

 one of my specialties, and the precautions I 

 take in having only a stri(!tly first-class strain 

 has made many friends for this variety.

687 Red or Purple Top Strap Leaf 



I sell enormous amounts of seed of this cele- 

 brated turnip every year. Philadelphia seeds- 

 men for years past have been accustomed to 

 handle it by the ton; consequently, it is not to 

 be wondered at that I take care to send out 

 only extra selected, carefully grown stock. It 

 is one of the best table and stock turnips on 

 the market, being fine grained, never stringy 

 and of mild flavor. It is white below, with 

 a bright purple top; flesh white, leaves short, 

 narrow and erect. Will mature in 8 or 9 weeks. 

 Good cropper and an excellent keeper.
