Long Island Improved Purple-Top Ruta Baga. 
This is undoubtedly the finest variety of purple-top Ruta Baga, 
and originated by 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. Ina fair test on several Long 
Island farms, alongside some of the best European and American 
varieties, it produced almost twice the weight per acre of any other 
variety. (Seecut.) Iocts. oz.; 20cts. per &% lb.; 55 cts. lb.
