STECKLER SEED CO., I/TD., ALMANAC Improved Purple Top Rut a Baga. I This is grown for feeding stock and also for \ table use. It is oblong in shape, yellow ! flesh, very solid. Should always be sown in rows or ridges. "Long Island Purple Top Ruta Buga. This kind is purely of American origin. The root is smoother than the foregoing variety, the flesh is of golden yellow, fine grained and solid; it is earlier to mature. The stock we have is expressly grown for us on Long Island and cannot be surpassed. ! Cannot be too highly recommended. Extra Early White French, or ; White Egg". This is a lately introduced variety; is said to be very early, tender and crisp. The shape of it is oblong, resembling an egg. Having tried it we found it as represented, quickly growing, tender and sweet. It will never become a favorite ! market variety, as only flat kinds sell well ! in this market. It has to be pulled up ' soon, as it becomes pithy shortly after at- taining maturity. Extra Early Purple Top Munich. Recently introduced from Germany; fiat, with red or purple top; same as the Ameri- can variety, but fifteen days earlier to ma- ture. It is very hardy, tender, and of fine flavor. I^arg-e Cow Horn. A lcng white varie- ! ty of very good .quality, shaped like a cow's horn, from which the name. It is good for feeding stock. Sweet Germau, or Hanover. Re- sembles the Ruta Baga in growth; it is a white flesh variety, very solid and sweet. If sown in the fall will keep well until spring without getting pithy like the fiat Early White French or White Egg Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may no
