VVinter King Ruta Baga 
This is a very excellent and reliable variety for the family garden, 
distinguished by its remarkably solid flesh, which is crisp, firm and 
fine grained, and when boiled has a most attractive color. It differs 
from all others in shape, it is longer, holding its thickness from the 
shoulder down to the middle of the root from whence it tapers gradu¬ 
ally. This means a much greater weight per root, so that the family 
supply may be raised on a smaller area. It is good for use at any time 
of its growth and is always tender and appetizing to the taste, but is 
at its best during-winter, when fresh vegetables are not available. 
Its great weight recommends it above all others for stock pur¬ 
poses, it will out yield any variety in weight per acre. (See cut.)

Witloof Chicory 
Called also “F r e n c h 
Endive” “Brussels Chic¬ 
ory” and “Christmas 
Salad.” Seed sown in 
spring produces long thick 
roots, which after lifting, 
and “resting” a few days 
are replanted to start new 
growth, when they form 
the blanched crowns as 
illustrated. The work re¬ 
quired is simple and easy, 
and the crop will amply 
repay the work put upon 
it, for it is at once the 
tenderest and most deli¬ 
cately flavored of salads, 
and one of the few that can 
be grown during winter. 
Complete cultural direc¬ 
tions are given in our pam¬ 
phlet “Salads—Growing and Blanching,” sent free on request.

HENDERSON’S 
Golden Heart Ruta Baga 
Excellent for the family garden. It grows as clean and smooth

sort; it may therefore stand closer in the row, and may also be sown 
later in the season. The flesh is remarkably fine grained and of good 
flavor. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. }4 lb., $1.00 lb.
