HENDERSON’S 
Long Island Improved Ruta Baga 
This is undoubtedly the finest variety 
of purple-top Ruta Baga and originated 
by one of our Long Island growers. It is 
twice the size of ordinary American 
stocks, and although size is usually got at 
the expense of quality, the quality is su¬ 
perior to any that we have tested, and it 
is perfectly hardy. In a fair test on 
several Long Island farms, alongside 
some of the best European and American 
varieties, it produced almost twice the 
weight per acre of any other variety. 
Long Island Improved has been bred 
from the American Purple Top, over 
which it is a great improvement. It is 
very much larger, has no neck, and is a 
remarkably good keeper; the flesh is rich 
yellow, and of fine quality. (See en¬ 
graving.) Price, 10c. okt., 20c. oz., 60c. 
M lb., $2.00 lb. 
“ From one packet of L. I. Improved Ruta 
Baga I bought from you last season, I grew 700 
lbs.weight. Some of the Ruta Bagas weighed 7 
lbs. each." JOHN MORRISSEY, 
Henrietta, N. Y. 
"Just before I retired from the market gar¬ 
dening business I raised in one season 3123 
bushels of Henderson's Long Island Ruta Baga. 
The" were the pride of the neighborhood." 
CYRUS PICKETT , Cheshire , Conn.
