Red Top White Globe 
RED TOP WHITE GLOBE (Reselected) 58-63 days 
This Special Strain is grown by us in Connecticut, and 
owing to the great amount of care and labor involved in 
making this the best strain on the market, we naturally 
have to ask a higher price for it than for the regular stock. 
However, many of our customers feel that the higher 
price they obtain for these extra fine turnips more than 
offsets the small increase in cost. Its particular feature is 
the purplish tinged red:top which goes well down on the 
root. It is a quick growing type with finely flavored white 
flesh. It keeps well for such an early variety. % Ib. 70c; 
Ib. $2.00.
