HENDERSON'S 
GOLDEN HEART RUTA BAGA 
Invaluable for garden culture. It is entirely distinct from ordinary varieties. 
The bulb grows as clean and smooth as a Turnip. The flesh is remarkably fine 
in grain and delicious flavor. But the most distinct improvement of all lies in 
its wonderful earliness, as it matures in 56 days from time of sowing. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. 34 lb., $1.00 lb. 
“ The Golden Heart Ruta Bagas are the finest I have ever had. I gave some to a neighbor who 
liked them so well, that he will grow Golden Heart exclusively next spring." 
W. I. BROOKS, R.F.D. 1, Box 9, Glastonbury, Conn. 
" Let me shout the praises of your Golden Heart Ruta Bagas. I ant the only homesteader here — 
and there are fifteen of us, who had Ruta Bagas that were not woody. ”

TABLE 
TURNIPS 
Early White Milan Turnip. An extra early variety. 
The bulb forms very rapidly, making but few and small 
leaves. It is eminently adapted for early spring 
and summer planting, and if sown at monthly 
intervals will furnish a continuous supply of 
the most tender and delicately flavored Tur¬ 
nips; the root is of medium size, very 
handsome, smooth and of a clear ivory- 
white both inside and out. The flesh 
is fine-grained, tender and of mild, 
sweet flavor, it never becomes pithy 
or stringy. It will undoubtedly find 
a welcome in all gardens, as, in addi¬ 
tion to the heavy crop assured by 
its adaptability for close planting, 
it will be found to be fit for use at 
least a week earlier than any other 
white variety in cultivation. (See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz.,

"Your Golden Heart is the 
first Ruta Baga Turnip I 
have found to suit this climate. 
They usually run all to leaves 
and neck and make hard worth¬ 
less bulbs."
