Purple Top White Globe turnip seeds are from an old heirloom turnip dating back prior to 1880. The roots are smooth and nearly round, bright purple on top and creamy white in the portion below the soil line. They are mild flavoured and sweet, and can reach 13cm (5") in diameter but are better for eating when picked at 5-8cm (2-3"). The package contains over 170,000 seeds, and the turnip is ready to harvest in about 60 days. The turnip is an excellent source of protein for deer and other wildlife.
