949 RIVERHEAD, L. I., Strain 
The Long Island Ruta Bagas have established a nation-wide 
reputation for their high quality; so, when an improvement ap- 
pears in this type, it can be accepted at once as an outstanding 
and extraordinary sort. For many years, it has been the object 
of growers of this valuable vegetable to obtain a type that would 
be finer in texture and flavor. In other words, to grow a Ruta 
Baga, that would create a greater appeal for table use. We believe 
that the Riverhead strain will supply that appeal. It is very 
refined in appearance, smooth and clean, medium in size, globular 
in shape with small top growth and no indication of a neck. Its 
flavor is sweet and delicious; as desirable for the home garden 
as it will be for the market grower. 
Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., 80c; lb.. $2.50. 
947 SLITER'S PERFECTION 
White Flesh— Finest Quality and Sweetest Ruta Baga. 
A white fleshed variety of the Macomber type. The flavor and 
sweetness so far surpass other varieties, that we consider this new 
strain an outstanding vegetable for fall and winter use. The roots 
will remain in fine condition all winter when properly stored. 
The roots are large, smooth, nearly round, neckless. white with a 
greenish tinge at the crown. The flesh is white, firm, fine grained 
and very sweet. 
Price, pkt.. 10c; oz., 35c; X lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00.
