BEET. (1 02. to 50 feet of drill; 5 lbs per acre in drills.) Pkt. 



Detroit Dark Red. Best for summer sowing, and

Dewing's Improved Blood Turnip. Handsome, 

 smooth and round

 on the standard variety. {See also page 2) . . . 



Edmand's. A handsome, round, uniform, turnip- 

 shaped Beet, very smooth and of good size; tops 

 small, flesh red and of excellent quality; fine 

 for late crop 



Half Long, Henderson's. Free from woody fibre.. 



Long Smooth Blood-Red An excellent late variety 

 CABBAGE. (1 oz. produces 2,000 plants; H lb. to 

 transplant for an acre.) 



Autumn King, Henderson's. (Crop failed.) 



Charleston Wakefield Henderson's. A larger 

 variety of Early Jersey Wakefield but not as 

 early as the original stock. The pointed-head 

 Cabbages are preferable to the larger flat kinds. 

 When used fresh from the garden they are of 

 excellent quality, quite free from the coarse 

 rankness so commonly associated with Cabbage. 

 Henderson's Charleston Wakefield is larger, but 

 fully equal in quality to any of its class and ad- 

 mirably suited to succeed the very early sorts. 



Early Spring, Henderson's. Earliest flat headed 

 cabbage; produces excellent heads early in the 

 season 



Early Summer, Henderson's. The standard. It 

 is fit for use right after the extra early sorts. 

 It forms large solid flat heads weighing 8 to 10 

 lbs. each. {See engraving.) 



Succession, Henderson's. Best for general use. 

 The heads are enormous in size, extremely solid, 

 and it grows well at any season 



Late Flat Dutch, Henderson's Selected. A well 

 known variety; forms large solid heads, and 

 winters well. A description seems unneces- 

 sary, whem most of our patrons know it so 

 well. It is just a good Cabbage in every respect. 

 Grows easily, cooks easily, tastes good, and 

 will for many years to come be highly esteemed 

 Our stock is iust as good as ever and we are 

 sure it will please 



Premium Flat Dutch. A Standard and excellent, 

 variety, developing earlier than most late 

 sorts but not so good a winter keeper. For fall 

 use it is tender and of superior flavor. Premium 

 Flat Dutch Cabbage has a short stem, large 

 outer leaves and is a very sure heading 

 variety. The heads are uniformly large and 

 solid, and it is preferred by many as the ideal 



large late Cabbage 



CHINESE CABBAGE or PE-TSAI. 



Culture same as lage Cabbage. Sow seed in 

 July. {See also page 3)
