Purple Top Munich
This resembles every way the common Early Red Top, with the exception that it is decidedly earlier and the purple is of a darker and richest color. It can be left rather thicker than Red Top, as the neck is smaller. It is a capital variety for early market, and every one of my customers will endorse it as a decided acquisition. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb., mail postpaid, 85c.

White Egg
Six hundred bushels of this fine turnip have been raised to the acre as a second crop, bringing the market gardener who raised them two hundred dollars. Several years ago I experimented with every variety of the early turnips found in the catalogue of the most extensive seed growers of England to determine whether this turnip claimed to be a new American variety really was such. After a careful comparison with all these foreign varieties I am satisfied that it is a new variety as distinct from any of the sorts tested as they are from each other. It is perfectly smooth, of a pure, clear white, growing half out of ground, and at times to the size of a rutabaga; being a very choice kind for table use, of excellent flavor, sweet and mild. It pulls clean from the ground, and with its thin, snow-white skin looks almost as attractive as would a basket of huge eggs. It is a first rate keeper for winter use. Comes to size for use just after Early Red Top. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 30c; ½ lb., 45c; lb., mail, 80c.
