Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped. 
A beautiful variety, deep scarlet with white tip, and is becoming very popular as a market 
sort. Fully as early as Non Plus Ultra; has as small a top and may be planted as closely; it is 
more attractive in appearance. Cannot fail to give satisfaction as a forcing radish. Sold also as 
Rosy Gem, Rapid Forcing etc.

tender until July. The roots are very uniform in shape, smooth and very bright red in color. 
The flesh is white and crisp.
