WHEN 
RUTA BAGAS OR SWEDE TURNIPS. 
MAULE’S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE.—I have been selling 
this magnificent ruta baza for eleven years, having first offered it in 1888, 
and it has given perfect satisfaction everywhere. It is, I think, the fin- 
est and most protitabie of all the Swede turnips, being the hardest, 
heaviest, best shape and most productive. The roots are better keepers 
| than the flatter sorts. The flesh is of a beautiful yellow color, of the 
choicest quality, and full of nourishment. The external markings, the 
shape, etc., may be learned by referring to the illustration. It is the 
king of the ruta bagas. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz.. 10 cts.; 4 1b., 20 cts.; lb., 55 cts. 
IMPROVED PURPLE TOP.—Next in yield and value after my 
Heavy Cropping Swede, described above, I place this old standard va- 
riety. It is of fine quality and is widely grown. It keeps perfectly all 
winter, and even into the following summer. It is hardy, productive 
sweet, solid and satisfactory. Its shape is shown in the illustration, 
which also gives a hint ofits yield. Itis justly held in high esteem for 
both table and stock feeding purposes. My strain of this seed is of the 
best, as I long since succeeded, by careful selection, in attaining a 
stock of the highest purity and excellence. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 
10 cents; 144 pound, 15 cents; pound, 45 cents. 
IMPERIAL HARDY SWEDE.—This is a purple topped ruta baga 
of large size. It is a heavy yielder,a good keeper, and a wholly satis- 
factory variety in many sections. It has a small top and a smooth 
root. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 14 pound, 15 cents; pound, 4 cents. 
LARGE WHITE FRENCH.—This ruta baga grows to a large size, 
and is most excellent for table use or for live stock. The flesh is firm, 
rich and of sweet, nutritious quality. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 
14 pound, 15 cents; pound, 45 cents. 
SUTTON’S CHAMPION. — This fine variety 
is a great cropper, sometimes producing over 40 
tons to the acre. It is considered by many peo- 
ple to be one of the best ruta bagas grown, 
equally remarkable for qual- 
ity, hardness, keeping abil- 
ity. size and flavor. Flesh 
yellow,solid, firm, sweet and 
rich. A most excellent sort 
either for table or for feed- 
ing stock. Packet, 5 cents; 
ounce, 10 cents; 14 pound, 
15 cents; pound, 45 cents. 



















WHITE ROCK. 
WHITE ROCK. — This excellent variety 
was until lately but little known outside of the 
New England States, but in that section it 
has long had an enviable reputation as an ex- 
tra good cropper and reliable keeper. It is 
equally desirable for table purposes or for 
Stock feeding. The illustration shows its de- 
sirable form. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents;

Illustrations. 319 Pages. 
Recognized by Agricultural Schools and Experimental Stations as the 
Leading and Up-to-Date Authority on Gardening, 
I consider this the best work on the garden ever published. Mr. 
Greiner, has the reputation of being the foremost writer on garden 
| topics in America. In “ How to Make the Garden Pay,” he has concen- 
| trated years of practical ex 
_ thorough theoretical knowledge of the subject. 
such a clear and concise manner, that a novice in gardening can follow 
| the teachings of this book and make a success of whatever he under- 
takes. Whether a farmer, a market gardener, or one who is cultivating 
| @& small plat around his home for the daily supply of fresh vegetables, 
_ you will find this book a most decided help. The rapid development 
of the last few years in the many appliances of the garden, and the ad- 
} vance in improved methods, made a new and revised edition an abso- 
| lute necessity. This new edition contains everything down to date. 
Price, $2.00, postpaid; but if your order amounts to $5.00 or over, T will
