it is grown (or the tops which are used tor greens. It is remarkably hardy and will grow . ,

CTTLTTJRE-Ruta Baga seed 
flhonld be sown three or four 
weeks earlier than that of the 
table varii ties of Turnips. The 
(round should be enriched with 
■well-rotted manure and the 
•eed sown in drills 2% inches 
apart and thinned out to six or 
eight inches in the rows When the roots have fnlly 
matured and before severe weather si-ts in, pull, cut 
off the tops and store them in a root-cellar or pit. In some sections the 
seed is sown broad-ca-st and the Ruta Bagas are allowed to taks their 
chances with the weeds, but this method is seldom successful except on 
■ew clearing. 
We desire to 
call iiarticular 
attention to ... 
... Bur$r$ monarch 
as we believe this is 
most profitable variety that 
can be grown for stock-feeding. 
HURST'S MONAROH— The largest and heaviest yield- 
ing variety. Tlie best for Stock Feeding. Keeping qualities 
nnsurpassed A variety that every farmer should grow. 
Good for 1,000 bushels per acre. The greatest of all 
the Ruta Bagas, and by far the best that can be grown 
for stock feeding purposes. It produces large oval or oblong- 
■hapt-d roots . of immense size, and the yield per acre is far 
ahead of any other variety. It is extensively grown in Bngland, 
being rais-CJ bj the stock growers of that country in preference to 
any other sorts. The bulbs are purplish-crimson above ground, 
gellow below, flesh golden yellow, and will keep solid and 
ard much longer than the smaller varieties ; this, of com se, 
is a great advantage. It is undoubtedly the best stock feeding 
variety that can be grown, nnd we cannot too highly recommend it 
to our friends. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c 'A lb 20c. Vs lb. 30o, lb. 60c. 
MAY'S IMPROVED PURPLE TOP— Those who want a 
first-class Ruta Bair.a of this shape, with fine flesh and splendid keep- 
ing qualities will find our Purple Top the best in the list. It is so 
•wect and fine grained that it is being used extensively Jor the table 
as well as for stock feeding. The bulbs are large, solid, round 
and uniform in shape, all being proportioned about exactly 
alike, thus making it a most valuable variety for marketing. I'leih

belongs to the table class of Turnips, hut partakes largely olthe nature

very best varieties. The flesh is white, hard, sweet and very firm,enanl-
