Is a new and distinct variety : it was
hybridized by the large Norfolk Globe,
and the Seven Top, a sab.d turnip,
and combines the valuable qualities of
both. After several years of thorough
cultivation it has attained excellencies,
superior, it is claimed, to any turnin-
producing more salad than the Seven
Top aiid a larger and firmer root than
the Norfolk Glebe. Combining the
qualities of root and salad makes it
the most valuable variety for stock, fur
the table, and for general marketing,
and is beyond all question in all re
spects,, the best turnip to be bad for
this section.
The following points of excellence
are confidentially claimed for it:
CF It has no equal for root or salad.
& It stands extreme heat and jold;
Cr It is superior to the Northern
turnip.
0 They do not pith or become
spongy as other turnips.
0 It produces salad two weeks
earlier than any other turnip.
Insects do not injure this as
they do other varieties.
ffj1" It produces more salid than
any other turnip.
ft produces a larger root than
any other turnip.
KF" It is the best turnip for winter
use in the market.
Cr For general farm market pur
noses it has no equal in the South.
ALL THIS
and more is claimed for this turnip by
parties who are in a position to know
its worth, but the thing for you to do
is to test it ) ourself. I will give you
