    A 50 day cultivar. Several of the Mennonite seed and feed stores in this area stock it, so I tried it. It is a strap-leaf cultivar and I did not find the greens to be as tender and tasty as the Purple Top/White Globe. The turnips are very good at egg size, but they get pithy quickly as they get bigger.
