Egyptian Bed Turnip Beet. White French Sugar Beet. 



Egyptian Red Turnip. This is a new variety sent out by 

 Benary some years ago. It is very early, tender, deep red and of Turnip 

 shape. Leaves of this variety are smaller than on others. The seeds 

 are also much smaller. I recommend it and consider it an acquisition. 



Long Red Mangel Wurtzel. 

 This is raised for stock ; it grows to a 

 large size. Heie in the South where 

 stock is not stabled during the winter, 

 the raising of root crops is much neglect- 

 ed ; being very profitable for their food 

 it ought to be more cultivated. 



White French Sugar, is used the 

 same as the foregoing; not much 

 planted. 



Silver Beet or Swiss Chard; Silver Beet or Swiss Chard. 



This variety is cultivated for its large succulent leaves, which are 

 used for the same purposes as Spinach. It is very popular in the New 

 Orleans Market.

Chou-vert, (Fr.) Gruener Kohl, (Ger.) Breton, (Sp.) 



Dwarf German Greens. 



A vegetable highly esteemed in northern part of Europe, but very 



little cultivated in this country. It requires frost to make it good. 



Treated the same as Cabbage.
