THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1906 
RUTA BAGAS OR SWEDE TURNIPS. | 
MAULE’S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE.—1I have been selling © 
this magnificent ruta baga for eighteen years, having first offered it in 
1888, and it has given perfect satisfaction everywhere. It is, I think, the 
finest and most profitable of all the Swede turnips, being the hardiest, 
heaviest, best shaped and most productive. Theroots 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, etc., may be learned by referring to the illustration. It is the 
king of the ruta bagas. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 1b., 15 cts.; lb., 50 cts. | 
IMPROVED PURPLE TOP.—Next in yield and value after my |, 
Heavy 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 ofits 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 cents; 44 pound, 15 cents; pound, 40 cents. y
