Varieties:

Purple-Top White Globe

This turnip variety is grown both for its mild-flavored, crisp roots and its greens. Roots are round and smooth with a purple shoulder and white beneath. Flavor is best in cool weather and when no more than about 3" across. Use roots raw in salads and dips, or cooked. Prepare greens by steaming. 55-60 days to maturity.

White Lady Hybrid

A popular cool-weather vegetable grown for its crisp roots and delicious greens. The root can be served sliced on a relish tray with dips. It is also enjoyed sliced and boiled or mashed. Prepare greens by steaming. 40-60 days to maturity.

Amber Globe

A popular cool-weather vegetable grown for its crisp roots and delicious greens. The root can be served sliced on a relish tray with dips. It is also enjoyed sliced and boiled or mashed. Prepare greens by steaming. 40-60 days to maturity.

Sevin-Top

This turnip is grown strictly for its tender, luscious, vitamin-rich greens. Plants are easy-to-grow and come into production quickly. Leaves can be harvested over a period of time or all at once. Either way you get lots of greens with flavor that's best if grown during cool weather. Prepare by steaming or cooking with other vegetables. 5-10 days to sprout.
