BUIST'S GARDEN GUIDE. -4RUTA BACAS OR SWEDES. The cultivation of the Euta Baga is greatly on the increase in this country, but we are still very much behind Great Britain, where fully one-fifth of the Agricultural districts are culti= rated in this crop, for Winter food for Cattle and Sheep; in many sections of our country its cul- tivation is not thoroughly understood; as we have observed especially in the South that it is frequently sown broadcast, the result is that the crop proves a failure, as it will rarely if ever form bulbs when sown in this manner, it should always be sown on raised ridges, which should be slightly levelled off with the back of a harrow and lightly rolled after seeding, and as the plants^ grow, ridge up to them which causes them to Buist's Improved Pur- ple-Top Yellow Ruta the largest and most produc- tive Swede known; there is no variety which has gained a greater reputation throughout the entire country than Buist's Improved. Testimo- nials are continually being received by us indorsing its fine qualities and productive- ness; it cannot be too highly re- commended, and no sort will produce such handsomely form- ed roots or greater yield; it has an exceedingly short neck, is very solid, of a beautiful orange- color, with a handsome purple top and is the result of many years carefuil selection.
