 Henderson *s 



Early Cortlandt 



The Earliest and Sweetest Rata 

 Barfa — Introduced in 1928 



Q4Jj Henderson's Early Cortlandt 

 is the forerunner of a new 

 race of Rutal Bagas. It is generally 

 known that the older sorts are usually 

 bitter and unpalatable till touched by 

 frost. Early Cortlandt is sweet, tender 

 and delicious long before the time for 

 the first frost arrives. It is very at- 

 tractive in appearance, being a rich 

 deep cream wath a blending of nankeen 

 yellow, green and purple on the top of 

 the root. The roots are medium in 

 size, round with a flattened top and 

 very uniform. The top growth is 

 small and they may be grown closer 

 together than' any other sort. Price, 

 pkt. 15c ;oz. 25c;)4lb. 75c; lb. $2.50; 

 transportation paid.

 den. 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 1 he season. The flesh is remarkably 

 fine grained and of good flavor. (See 

 illustration.) Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 20c:
