TURNIP 



Our Pamphlet, "Garden Culture of Root Crops" tells how to grow 

 Turnip and Ruta Baga. Sent free on request when ordering. 



Yellow-Fleshed Varieties 

 926 GOLDEN BALL or ''Orange Jelly" 



A very distinct variety, and the finest yellow-fleshed sort for family use. 

 It grows a verv- shapely bulb, medium in size, almost round, very 

 smooth, and quite free from side roots. The skin is pale yellow, the 

 flesh deep yellow throughout, and so fine in texture as to earn the name 

 "Orange Jelly." Sown in July it gives a very satisfactory crop in 

 early fall, and can be stored and used during the winter.

945 EARLY CORTLANDT (Henderson's) 



The Earliest and Sweetest Ruta Baga 



A very fine early Ruta Baga. The roots are almost round, smiooth, 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., 75c; lb., $1.75; transportation paid. 



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 sow-n later in the season. The 

 flesh is remarkably fine grained and of good flavor.

949 RIVERHEAD, L. I., Strain (New) 



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 verj- 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; % lb., 75c; lb., §1.75; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Garden Guide and Record, given free on request with a 

 three-dollar order, contains much information about garden manage- 

 ment and crop rotation. (See page 1.) 



950 IMPROVED LONG ISLAND 

 RUTA BAGA (Henderson's) 



Long Island Improved has been bred from the American 

 Purple Top, over which it is a great i^sprovement. It is 

 much larger, has no neck, and is a remarkably good keeper; 

 the flesh is rich yellow, and of fine quality.
