skin of this 
novelty is so bright and beautiful a 
red that any one would 
my think the roots were 
radishes rather than 
turnips. The roots are 
handsome, flat, per- 
fectly smooth, and 
have only a very 
small tap root. The 
flesh is white, tender 
and of good flavor.

- Buta BAGAS OR SWEDES 
ULTURE OF RUTA BAGAS—Sow the seed about a month earlier than the preceding varieties of turnips. They should 
be sown on ground enriched with well rotted manure, in drills two and one-half feet apart, and thinned to six to eight 
inches apart in the row. Keep the weeds thoroughly in check with the hoe or cultivator, and when the roots have grown 
full size, and before hard freezing weather, pull, cut off the tops and store in a root cellar or pit. Ruta Bagas are sometimes 
sown broadeast and Jet take their chances with the weeds and bugs, but this method is only successful on new clearing in 
which there is no weed seed.
