Amber Globe Turnip
Origin: United States
Item #: TURNIP001
The Amber Globe Turnip is
a very rare, heirloom turnip variety that dates back to at least 1840 and
was later made famous by W. Atlee Burpee Seeds Co. in the 1880's. Though
it was once popular, this golden colored turnip variety has become rare
and is now gradually vanishing from the world.
Amber Globe Turnips feature
a smooth, globe shaped golden-yellow root that can reach up to 6 inches
in diamter, but are best harvested at only 3 to 4 inches thick. The turnip
roots feature a sweet, fine grained, creamy-yellow colored flesh that is
superior to most other turnip varieties. The tops of this turnip are also
edible and may be used for greens.
Amber Globe is absolutely
one of the best turnip varieties for your garden and as a vanishing variety,
you can help to preserve this lovely turnip for the future!

Purple Top
White Globe Turnip
Origin: United States
Item #: TURNIP002
The Purple Top White Globe
Turnip is a popular heirloom turnip variety and is the most popular turnip
variety used for its roots. This outstanding, all purpose turnip variety
was introduced prior to 1880 and has always set the standard for what turnips
should be.
The roots of the Purple Top
White Globe Turnip will often grow to be the size of a softball or much
larger, but are best harvested when they are smaller and more tender. The
turnips themselves are very attractive and feature an ivory white color
with a brilliant purple colored top, from which this variety earned its
name.
The young leaves or tops
can be used as greens, in stir-frys or for soups are extremely nutritious.
They are exceptional when steamed.
The very tasty, sweet, mild
roots are eaten fresh or cooked and mashed like potatoes with a bit of
butter. Can also be pickled.
Turnips are ideal for a fall
crop and store very well. Frost enhances the flavor, so the harvest may
be prolonged into early winter. 40 to 50 days to maturity.
