RUTA BAGAS OR SWEDE TURNIPS. 



^MAULE'S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE I bave been selling 



this magniflceut ruta baga for eighteen years, having first oll'ered it In 

 1888, and it has given perlect satislactlon everywhere. It is, I think, th® 

 finest and most profitable of all the Swede turnips, being the hardiest, 

 heaviest, best shaped and most productive. The roots are better keepers 

 than other sorts. The flesh is of a beautiful yellow color, of the 

 choicest quality, and full of nourishment. The external markings, the 

 shape^tc, may be learned by referring to the illustration. It is the 

 kiu^rw the ruta bagas. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 lb., 20 cts.; lb., 60 cts.

^eavy Cropping Swede, described above, I place this old standard 

 variety. 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 of Its yield. It is 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 oents; % pound, 15 cents; pound, 50 cents.
