42 days to maturity. Good variety for fall planting. Has tender, mild-tasting leaves. The white roots are edible when young but become inedible as the plants mature. Resistant to mosaic and downy mildew.

An excellent open pollinated white turnip. Better quality than White Egg and more dependable. Excellent greens.
