This gigantic grammsea is perennial in hot climates. It somewhat resembles Indian Corn in aspect and habit of growth, but the leaves are much longer and broader and the stock is filled with sweeter sap, and is likely to prove of value for the production of sugar. In its perfection it produces a great number of shoots, growing three or four yards high, very thickly covered with leaves, yielding such an abundance of forage that one plant is estimated to be sufficient to feed a THE WHITE EGG TURNIP. Last season I experimented with every variety of the early tur- nips found in the catalogue of the most extensive seed grower of England (twenty-three in number) to determine whether this turnip claimed to be a new American variety really was such. After a careful comparison with all these foreign varieties I am satisfied that it is a new variety, as distinct from any of the sorts tested as they are from each other. The en- graving gives a very correct idea of its shape. It is per- fectly smooth, of a pure clear white, growing half out of ground, and at times to the size of a ruta baga, a very choice kind for table use, of excellent flavor, sweet and mild. It pulls clean from the ground, and with its thin, snow white skin looks almost as attractive as a basket of eggs. It is a first rate keeper for winter use. In both ap- pearance and quality it holds a very high rank and must be considered as quite an addi- tion to our Fall Turnips. Comes to size for use just after Early Ked Top.
