labor involved in making this the best 
strain on the market, we are obliged to 
ask a higher price than for the ordinary 
stock. However, 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
