 early fall, but can be stored and used during the winter. (See engrav- 

 ing.)

I HENDERSON'S Long Island Improved 



950. This is undoubtedly the finest 

 variety of purple-top Ruta Baga and 

 originated by one "of our Long Island 

 growers. It is twice the size of ordinarx- 

 American stocks, and although size i- 

 usually got at the expense of quality, th^' 

 ^quality is superior to any that we hai-' 

 tested, and it is perfectly hardy. 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. 



Long Island Improved has been bred 

 from the Aiaerican Purple Top, over 

 which it is a great improvement. It is, 

 very much larger, has no neck, and is a 

 remarkably good keeper; the flesh is rich 

 yellow, and of fine quality. (See eti- 

 graving.)

"From one packet of L. I. Improved Rv' ' 

 Baoc. I bought from you last season, I grew 70(1

 lbs. each." JOHN MORRISSEY, 



Henrietta, N'. Y. 



"Just before I retired from the Tiarket gar- 

 dening business I raised in one season 3123 

 bushels of Henderson's Long Island Ru'.t. Baga. 

 They were the -pride of the nsighh-yfLood.**
