RUTA BAGAS 
The Ruta Bagas are late turnips which generally 
grow larger, are sweeter and have firm, hard flesh 
which makes them better winter keepers than the 
other varieties of turnips. They may be stored in 
the cellar or in pits of sand, and will retain their 
ood qualities almost indefinitely. In general it is 
est to sow Ruta Bagas earlier than the common 
turnips. 
American Purple Top Yellow— very produc¬ 
tive type with yellow flesh, solid, sweet and fine 
flavored. It is equally good for stock or table use 
and is generally considered the best of all yellow 
Turnips. 
Macomber —The Macomber is sweet and fine 
grained and is unsurpassed for table qualities. 
The root is white with purplish green tops, 
smooth, round and attractive in appearance. 
Where quality is appreciated this Turnip will find 
a ready market. We consider it the most desirable 
of all Ruta Bagas. 
White Rock —An early Ruta Baga, round, hard 
and white. The flesh is firm and sweet and keeps 
well. It is equally good for table use or for stock 
feeding. 
Early Golden Neckless — A favorite creamy- 
yellow globe shaped winter Turnip. The flesh 
is fine grained and sweet and the root has an 
extremely small neck. It is a heavy yielder and 
a good keeper. 
Long Island Improved — Our stock of this de¬ 
sirable yellow, purple-topped variety is noted 
for its smoothness, lack of neck and general re¬ 
finement of color, shape and flavor. 
THE SEED SITUATION 
The drought throughout the middle west during the summer cut deeply into the 
supply of quality seeds. The extreme heat prevented pollination in many crops and 
resulted in a small set of fruit. Early frosts and hail storms later in the fall still further 
damaged standing crops. The result has been that there are actually not enough seeds 
of many of the desirable varieties to supply the normal demand and many stocks of 
seed show low germination and vitality. 
We were fortunate in having placed our acreage in sections which were not affected 
by the dry weather and we consequently have ample stocks of seeds of strong germination 
and vitality. However, the demand is so unusually heavy for high quality seeds that 
we cannot too strongly urge our friends and customers to place their orders early and 
avoid disappointment. 
Our Long Island ImprovedHRuta Baga is a superior type.
