Winter King Ruta Baga 



_ This is a very excellent and reliable variety for the family garden, 

 distinguished by its remarkably solid flesh, which is crisp, firm and 

 fine grained, and when boiled has a most attractive color. It differs 

 from all others in shape, it is longer, holding its thickness from the 

 shoulder down to the middle of the root from whence it tapers gradu- 

 ally. This means a much greater weight per root, so that the family 

 supply may be raised on a smaller area. It is good for use at any time 

 of its growth and is always tender and appetizing to the taste, but is 

 at its best during winter, when fresh vegetables are not available. 



Its great weight recommends it above all others for stock pur- 

 poses, it will out yield any variety in weight per acre. (See cut.) 

 Price, 5c. pkt, 10c. oz., 25c. \i lb., 75c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND IMPROVED. Bred from the 

 American Purple Top, over which it is a great improvement.

Witloof Chicory 



Called also "French 

 Endive" "Brussels Chic- 

 ory" and "Christmas 

 Salad." Seed sown in 

 spring produces long thick 

 roots, which after lifting, 

 and "resting" a few days 

 are replanted to start new 

 growth, when they form 

 the blanched crowns as 

 illustrated. The work re- 

 quired is simple and easy, 

 and the crop will amply 

 repay the work put upon 

 it, for it is at once the 

 tenderest and most deli- 

 cately flavored of salads, 

 and one of the few that can 

 be grown during winter. 

 Complete cultural direc- 

 witloof chicory tions are given in our pam- 



phlet "Salads — Growing and Blanching," sent free on request. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt, 25c. oz., 70c. 1 4 lb., $2.25 lb.
