RUTABAGASOR 
SWEDE TURNIPS 
By far the most profitable root crop grown 
on the farm. Ruta Bagas are better known 
in some sections as Swede Turnips. A yield 
of from 800 to 1,000 bushels per acre is not 
uncommon. Every raiser of stock should 
have a patch of Ruta Bagas, size varying 
according to quantity of stock. 1 oz. of seed 
will plant a row 250 ft. long. 3 lbs. of seed 
will sow one acre. 
586 Monarch or Elephant 
Grows to very large size and the bulbs 
are of smooth, oval form, slightly tapering 
at the ends. The skin is a dark red above 
the surface and of a rich yellow below. 
Flesh is a deep yellow and fine grain

Arnerican origin, selected to a smaller top and

THE BEST VARIETY FOR STOCK EVER GROWN. This mag¬ 
nificent Ruta Baga is unquestionably the most profitable of all 
Swede Turnips, as well as the hardiest, best shaped and by far 
the most productive, a yield of 1,000 bushels per acre and over, 
under careful cultivation, being of frequent occurrence. Bulbs 
are somewhat oval in shape, slightly oblong, and remain sound 
and good indefinitely. Flesh is of a beautiful yellow color, always 
sweet, tender, juicy and nutritious. The finest of all Swedes.
