RUTA BAGA

 TURNIP 



MAKES GKAND WINTEK FEED FOK ALL KINDS OF LIVE STOCK 



These grow very rapidly, and yield from twenty-five to 

 thirty -five tons per acre, in good, rich, deep soil, with proper 

 cultivation. The Ruta Bagas proper should be sown in 

 this latitude from May 25th to June 25th; while the 

 smaller-growing Turnips can be sown from July 1st to the 

 middle of August. Sow 2 to 3 lbs. pier acre. 



LONG ISLAND IMPROVED PURPLE-TOP. This is 

 undoubtedly the finest variety of purple-top Ruta Baga, 

 and originated with 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, along- 

 side some of the best European and American varieties, it 

 produced almost twice the weight per acre of any other 

 variety. As a winter food for live stock the Ruta Baga 

 has a wide range of adaptation, and is found at its best 

 where the weather is moist and cool. {See engraving.)
