 when fed in combination with hay. 



Buckbee's Giant 



Prize \\ inner Everywhere 

 This magnificent Ruta Baga, which I first offered in 1890, is 

 [unquestionably the most profitable of all Swede Turnips, as well 

 las the hardiest', heaviest, best shaped and by far the most product- 

 'ive, a yield of 1,000 bushels per acre and over, under careful culti- 

 vation, being of frequent occurrence. Bulbs are somewhat oval in 

 shape, slightly oblong and remain sound and good indefinitely. 

 Flesh is of a beautiful yellow color, always sweet, tender, juicy arid 

 nutritious. The finest of all Swedes, and a variety that should 

 be sown in preference to all others.
