 is so limited. It has a grassy top and a long, white, tapering root, nearly resemb- 

 ling a slim parsnip. When properly cooked it resembles closely the taste and flavor 

 of the oyster and is a good substitute for it; very wholesome and nutritious. The 

 roots are either boiled, or mashed and made into delicious fritters.

 vines cover the ground and yield enormously of the fruit, which is enclosed in a 

 husk or fruit calyx. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; % lb., 80 cts. 



RUTA BAGAS, or "Swedish" Turnips— These Swedish or Russian Turnips require 

 a longer season in which to grow than do the turnips, and with us the seed should 

 be sown about the first to the middle of July to make large bulbs. The flesh is 

 more solid and richer in flavor than that of the turnips, and they will keep in fine 

 condition more readily during the winter months. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; H Ib-i
