945 EARLY CORTLANDT (Henderson's) 



The Earliest and Sweetest Ruta Baga 



A very fine early Ruta Baga. ' The roots are almost round, smooth, with 

 small tops and practically no neck. The flesh is of a beautiful creamy yellow 

 color, of fine texture and mild flavor. Besides being early, it has good keep- 

 ing qualities. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; \i lb., 60c; lb., $1.25. 



944 GOLDEN HEART (Henderson's) 



Excellent for the family garden. It grows as clean and smooth as a Turnip. 

 Both tops and roots are smaller than those of any sort; it may therefore 

 stand closer in the row, and may also be sown, later in the season. The 

 flesh is remarkably fine grained and of good flavor.

949 RIVERHEAD, L. I., Strain 



The Long Island Ruta Bagas have established a nation-wide reputation for 

 their high quality; so, when an improvement appears in this type, it can be 

 accepted at once as an outstanding and extraordinary sort. For many 

 years, it has been the object of growers of this valuable vegetable to obtain 

 a type that would be finer in texture and flavor. In other words, to grow a 

 Ruta Baga, that would create a greater appeal for table use. We believe 

 that the Riverhead strain will supply that appeal. It is very refined in 

 appearance, smooth and clean, medium in size, globular in shape with small 

 top growth and no indication of a neck. Its flavor is sweet and delicious; 

 as desirable for the home garden as it will be for the market grower. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; \i lb., 75c; lb., $1.75.

367 WITLOOF CHICORY or French Endive 



Called also "French Endive," "Brussels Chicory" and 

 "Christmas Salad." Seed sown in spring produces long thick 

 roots, which after lifting, and ' 'resting" a few days are re-planted 

 to start new growth, when they form the blanched crowns as 

 illustrated. The work required is simple and easy, and the crop 

 will amply repay the work put upon it, for it is at once the 

 tenderest and most delicately flavored of salads, and one of the 

 few that can be grown during winter. Complete cultural direc- 

 tions are given in our pamphlet "Salads — Growing and Blanch 

 ing." 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; \i lb., $1.7 5.
