HENDERSON’S: 
Golden Heart Ruta Baga 
Invaluable for garden culture. It is entirely distinct from 
all other varieties. It grows as clean and smooth as a Turnip. 
It is particularly well adapted to private use on account of its 
size. Both tops and roots are smaller than any other sort, it 
may therefore stand closer in the row than others, and may be 
sown later in the season. The flesh is remarkably fine in grain 
and of 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 ctU.) Price, 10c. pkt., ISc. oz., 3Sc. 
lb., $1.00 lb. 
Early White Milan Turnip 
An extra-early variety of rapid growth making few and 
small loaves. It is eminently adapted for spring and 
early summer planting, and if sown at intervals 
during thecooler months will furnish a continuous 
supply of the most tenderand delicately flavored 
Turnips. The root is of medium size, clear, 
smooth and ivory-white both inside and out.. 
The flesh is fine-grained, tender, and of mild, 
sweet flavor, and when grown quickly never 
becomes pithy or stringy. It is greatly 
esteemed by all, and, in addition to the 
heavy crop assured by its adaptability for 
close planting, it is fit for use at least a 
week earlier than any other white variety 
in cultivation. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 
60c. M lb., $2.00 lb. 
''The Golden Heart Ruta Bagas are the finest 1 have ever had. I gave 
some to a neighbor who liked them so well, that he will grow Golden Heart 
exclusively next spring.”
