RESELECTED RED TOP WHITE GLOBE Owing to the 
great amount of care and labor involved in making 
this the best strain on the market, we are obliged to 
ask a higher price than for the ordinary stock. How¬ 
ever, the better price you will obtain for these extra 
fine turnips will more than offset the small increase 
in cost. Its particular feature is its very bright red 
top which goes well down on the root. It is a quick 
growing type, with fine flavored white flesh. Keeps 
well for such an early variety. Matures in about 65
