RUTA BAQA5. 



»re you aware that Ruta Baga or Swedish Turnips are among the most 



Valuable Root Crops? 



An eminent authority on agricuiture never made a more truthful 

 ADaiement than when he said : "As compared with luiy at $10.00 to $13.00 

 ver l»n, 1 prefer Ruta Bayas at $3.00 per ton." An average yield o1 

 twenty to thirty tons per acre is of common occurrence.

\nd have your seeds on hand for planting when the time comes. Sow 

 '^he seed about a month earlier than the varieties on preceding page 

 They should be sown on ground enriched with well rotted manure, in 

 •irills; rows two and one half feet apart and thinned to six to eight 



nches apart in the row. Keep the weeds thoroughly in check with 

 t.h€ hoe or culti :ator, and when the roots have grown full size, and 

 before hard freezing weather, pull, cut off tops and store in a root 

 jellar or pit. Ruta Bagas are sometimes sown broadcast and let take 

 'heir chances with the weeds and bugs, but this method is only suc^ 

 ,»essful on new clearing in which there is no weed seed. 



SUCKBEE'S GIANT — 3 — Prize winner, everywhere. This magnificent 

 . Ruta Baga, which I first offered in 1890, is unquestionably the most 

 profitable of all Swede Turnipr, as well as the hardiest, heaviest, 

 best shaped, and by far the most productive— a yield of 1,000 bushels 

 per acre and over, under careful cultivation, being of frequent 

 occurrence. Bulbs are somewhat oval in shape, slightly oblong and 

 remain sound and good indefinitely. Flesh is of a beautiful yellow 

 jolor, always sweet, tender, juicy and nutritious. The finest of all 

 Swedes, and a variety that should be sown in preference to all 

 others. Mr. H. R. Kimball writes: "Have iMcd Buckhee's Giant 

 Ruta Bagas for a numtier of years. Find it is the best I have tried. In 

 ihape. size and uniformitu of yrowth is away ahead of anything else."
