 July or August for the fall crop, at which season it grows best. 1 oz. to 150 feel of drill. 



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 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. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz.,

Henderson's Improved 

 Long Island Ruta Baga 



950. 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 ordi- 

 nary American stocks, and although 

 size is usually got at the expense of 

 quality, the quality is superior to any 

 that we have tested, and it is per- 

 fectly hardy. In a fair 

 test on several Long Island 

 farms, alongside some of 

 the best European and 

 American varieties, it pro- 

 duced almost twice the 

 weight per acre of any 

 other variety. 



Long Island Improved 

 has been bred from the 

 American Purple Top, over 

 which it is a great im- 

 provement. It is much 

 larger, has no neck, and is 

 a remarkably good keeper; 

 the flesh is rich yellow, and 

 of fine quality. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 10c. pkt.,15c. oz., 45c. % lb., $1.25 lb.
