Long island Improved Purple-Top Ruta Baga. 



This is undoubtedly the finest variety of purple-top Ruta Baga, 

 and originated by one of our Long Island growers. It is twice the 

 size of ordinary American stocks, and although size is usually got 

 -at the expense of quality, the quality is superior to any that we 

 have tested. It is perfectly hardy. In a fair test on several Long 

 Island farms, alongside some of the best European and American 

 A-arieties, it produced almost twice the weight per acre of any other 

 variety. {See cut.) locts. oz.; 2octs. per ^ lb.; 55 cts. lb.
