lb. 35c., 5 lbs. $1.25, 100 lbs. $15.00. 
Dark Green Bloomsdale. A better and darker strain of the well- 
known Reselected Bloomsdale. Its darker color gives the plants a 
fresh appearance for a longer time after being cut than ordinary 
Bloomsdale. Though not quite so long-standing as our New Long 
Standing Bloomsdale it remains much longer in prime marketable 
condition than the old Savoy-leaved. Pkt. 10c., 34 lb- 15c., 
lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.50, 100 lbs. $17.50. 
Virginia Blight-resisting Bloomsdale Savoy. This strain is not 
as heavily crumpled and of lighter color than the Reselected

Savoy seed show blight, this strain has proven to given excellent 
results, being absolutely free from blight. Pkt. 10c., 34 bl. 15c., 
lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.50, 100 lbs. $17.50.

sowing. Dark green leaves, which are well curled. Plants are com¬

5 lbs. $1.50, 100 lbs. $20.00. 
New Long Standing Bloomsdale. A new strain of outstanding 
merit, that, although recently introduced, has already become a 
favorite with commercial growers on account of its splendid per¬ 
formance. It is almost as early and quick growing as the old 
Bloomsdale, but it will stand in marketable condition 10 to 14 
days longer before going to seed. It is intensely crumpled and 
blistered and very uniform. The color is a deep glossy green. Wher¬ 
ever Bloomsdale is grown, this improved strain will give far more 
satisfactory results. Pkt. 10c., 34 lb. 15c., lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.50, 
100 lbs. $17.50.

1 packet for 100 feet, 2 pounds to the acre 
Culture —For early use sow as soon as the ground opens in Spring

For a succession, continue to sow in July and August. The Ruta¬ 
bagas are grown for feeding stock and are also excellent for the table. 
Take up the roots in November or before severe frosts; cut off the 
tops within an inch of the crown, store in a cool cellar, or pit, or

carry off the water. Put away in this manner they will be found in 
good condition in the Spring.
