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 finest variety of purple 

 top Ruta Eaga. 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 t«ually got 

 at the expanse of quality, thi quality of this variety for domestic 

 purposes is superior to any wi 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 Island farms, along- 

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

 duced almost twice the weight p^r acre of any other variety.
