Hurst's nonarch.— The ei 
of all the Ruta Bagas and by far 
the best that can be grown for 
stock feeding purposes. It pro- 
duces large oval or oblong-shaped 
roots of immense size, and tlio 
yield per acre Is far ahead of any 
«th*r variety. It is extensively 
grown in England, helng raised by the stock growers 
of that country in preference to any other sort. The 
bulbs are of a rich yellow flesh, and will keep solid and hard much longer 
than the smaller varieties; this, of course, is a great advantage. It is un- 
doubtedly the best stock feeding variety that can be grown, and we can- 
not too highly recommend it to our friends. Pkt. 6c, oz. 10c, H lb. 15c,
