TURNIPS AND RUTA BAGA. 



The Best Market Gardeners' Varieties. 



Early White Milan Turnip. An extra early, that is, 

 the bulb forms very rapidly, making but few and 

 small leaves. It is eminently adapted for early 

 spring and summer planting, and if sown at monthly 

 intervals will furnish a continuous supply of the most 

 tender and delicately flavored turnips; the bulb is of 

 medium size, very handsome, smooth and of a clear 

 ivory-white both inside and out. The flesh is fine- 

 grained, tender and of mild, sweet flavor; it never be- 

 comes pithy or stringy. It will undoubtedly find a 

 welcome in our markets, as, in addition to the heavy 

 crop assured by its adaptability for close planting, it 

 will be found to be fit for use at least a week earlier 

 than any other white variety in cultivation. 10c.

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND IMPROVED 



PURPLE = TOP RUTA BAGA 



Bred from the "American Purple Top," over which it is a great 

 •improvement, it is twice the size of ordinary American stocks. 

 In a 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. Flesh a rich 

 yellow, solid and sweet, the quality very superior, 

 is perfectly hardy, and a good keeper. (See cut.)
