SUMMER IS THE TIME 



TO SOW THEM. 



RUTA BAGAS come next to Mangels in 

 importance for stock feeding purposes and can 

 be sown much later. They grow very rapid- 

 ly and yield from 25 to 35 tons per acre, in 

 good rich deep soil, with proper cultivation. 

 The Ruta Bagas proper should be sown in 

 this latitude from May 25, to June 25. If 

 sawn at the time mentioned, they should be 

 sown in rows, 30 inches apart, and the plants 

 thinned with a hoe to 12 or 14 inches apart, 

 but If sown a month later, they can be grown 

 one-third closer both in rows and between the 

 plants. Sow 2 or 3 lbs. per acre.

Henderson's Long Island Improved 

 Purple Top Ruta Baga. 



Bred from the "American Purple Top," over which it is a 

 great improvement. It is undoubtedly the finsst variety of purple 

 top Ruta Baga : and is purely of American origin, having been or- 

 iginated by one of our Long Island growers. It is twice the size 

 of ordinary American stocks, and although size is usually got 

 at the expznse of quality, th: quality of this variety for domestic 

 purposes is superior to any w: have tested. Flesh a rich yellow, 

 solid and sweet, the quality very superior. It is perfectly hardy 

 and a good keeper. It first came under our notice as a prize win- 

 ner, and we feel certain that from its enormous size, solidity and 

 good quality, it will prove to be a champion variety for exhibit- 

 ion purposes. In a fair test on several Long Eland farms, along- 

 side some of the best European and American varieties, it pro- 

 duced almost twice the weight per acre of any other variety.
