Description
A nice yellow turnip with sweet, flat roots that mature quickly. In 1916 Burpee's catalog stated, "A most distinct variety of early maturity. The flat roots average two and a half to three inches in diameter, and the skin is a rich deep orange-yellow, very smooth and entirely free from small rootlets. The firm solid flesh is fine-grained, crisp, light orange-yellow in color, and having a flavor which is much richer and sweeter than any of the early white-fleshed sorts." This old turnip was introduced to England in 1879 by Suttons, who imported it from Germany, and around 1915 this variety was very important in Alaskan agriculture. A great variety for home and market.
