Henderson’s Golden Heart Ruta Baga 
944, Excellent for the family garden. It grows as clean and 
Smooth as a Turnip. Both tops and roots are smaller than 
those of any other sort; it may therefore stand closer in the 
rew, and may also be sown later in the season. The flesh is 
remarkably fine grained and of good flavor. (See engraving.)

Henderson’s Long Island Improved 
: Ruta Baga 
959. This is undoubtedly the finest variety of purple-top 
Ruta Baga originated by one of our Long Island growers. It 
is twice the size of ordinary American stocks, and although 
“size is usually got at the expense of quality, the quality is 
uperior to any that we have tested, and it is perfectly hardy. 
n 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 American 
Es urple Top, over which it is a great improvement. It is much 
‘larger, has no neck, and is a remarkably good keeper; the 
flesh is rich yellow, and of fine quality. (See engraving.)

TURNIP — Turnips do not do well in late summer, so the spring crop 
must be sown in this section before April 15th. This crop will mature before 
June 10th and the turnips should be used when quite young and tender. 
Turnips grow best in the fall from seed sown from July 15th to July 25th. 
The varieties grown at this season keep in good condition all winter.

lower half white. The flesh is pure white, crisp and fine 
grained. Price, 10c. pkt., 15¢. oz., 45¢e. % Ib., $1.25 lb.

NEW YORK

for family use. It grows a very 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, 
but can be stored and used during the winter.
