Turnip White Lady Hybrid
Flavor stays strong and texture firm, even when the roots are harvested late!
Grow this widely-adapted turnip just about anywhere for spring and fall crops!
35 days. A uniform, vigorous, and quick-maturing white turnip, this extra-fancy type is excellent for its tender greens as well as its smooth white globes. The flesh is crisp and sweet, even when allowed to grow large. Harvest at 2½ inches in diameter for best freshness. This hybrid adapts very well, bringing in big crops where others have not performed satisfactorily. It resists heat and bolting, and can even be grown all summer in cool and mild climates; the fruit will be smaller but just as delicious!
Turnips are easy to grow in spring or fall. Harvest the greens at about 2 to 3 inches as the roots grow; they will regrow several times as long as the crown isn't damaged. Pkt is 1/16 oz. (at least 600 seeds), which sows about 25 feet of row.

White Lady Turnips
We grew in the greenhouse, planting in Feb and without any supplemental heat. Temps fluctuated between 17 and 85 here at 5000 ft elevation in Lander Wyoming. Delicate sweet flavor, never strong in both leaves and bulbs. Customers who were too late for their usual greens, tried the White Lady and then came back for more asking for them by name. The White Lady turnip will be a garden staple.
