THE b§&t RUTA BAGAS 



Are you aware that Ru(a Bagas, or Swedish Turnips, 

 among the most valuable root crops? 



BUCKBEE'S GIANT. 



Priie Winner everywhere. This magnificent Ruta Baca, which I first 

 offerpl In 1S90, is unquestionably the most profitable of all Swede turnips, 

 as well as the hardiest, heaviest, best shaped and by far the most productive, 

 a yield of 1,000 bushels per acre aud over, under careful cultivation, being 

 of frequent occurrence. Bulbs are somewhat oval in shape, slightly oblong 

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

 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 used Buckbee's Giant Ruta Bagas for a number of years. 

 Find it is the best I have tried. In shape, size and uniformity of growth 

 Is away ahead of anything else." Pkt. 5c; oz. 8c.; 2 oz. 12c; l A lb. 20c; 

 >/ 2 lb. 35c; lb. 60c. 



New Monarch, or Elephant 



The form of this distinct, new Ruta Baga is well shown In the Illustra- 

 tion. It is very popular in England and is certainly a grand variety; claimed 

 to yield larger roots and more to an acre than any other sort. Produces 

 large, oval-shaped roots, with small necks; relatively small tops. Skin 

 dark purple above ground, yellow below. Flesh rich yellow, fine grained; of 

 best quality. Is easy to harvest. Can be grown at less cost than others.
