 TURNIPS 



Early Cortlandt, Henderson's 



The Earliest and Sweetest Ruta Baga 



Henderson's Early Cortlandt is the forerunner of a new race of 

 Ruta Bagas. It is generally known that the older sorts are usually 

 bitter and unpalatable till touched by frost. Early Cortlandt 

 is sweet, tender and delicious long before the time for the first 

 frost arrives. It is very attractive in appearance, being a rich 

 deep cream with a blending of nankeen yellow, green and purple 

 on the top of the root. The roots are medium in size, round with 

 a flattened top and very uniform. The top growth is small 

 and they may be grown closer together than any other sort.
