oeven lop used for greens. Ill many sections it is a favorite given 
feed for stock and its use like Rape for a pasture crop is quite general. It

Ruta Baga in this regard, but tender and sweet. Since it requiresa. 
longer time to mature, the seed should be sown about two weeka 
earlier than most sorts. The variety is hardy, productive and es¬ 
pecially valuable for stock feeding. Unequalled for its long keep¬ 
ing qualities and therefore particularly desirable for late winter 
and spring use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c.
