Sweet German Turnip
This variety is very popular in many sections, notably so in the New England states. It partakes largely of the nature of the Ruta Baga, and should be sown a month earlier than the flat turnips. The flesh is white, hard, firm, and sweet, and it keeps nearly as well as the Rutabaga . Highly recommended for winter and spring use.
