LIST OF VEGETABLE SEEDS.

BEET, MANGEL WURZEL AND SUGAR. 



Giant Long Red Mangel. 



Yellow Fleshed Golden Tankard. 



The following varieties are exten- 

 sively grown for feeding stock, and 

 are excellent food to increase the Aiurn* 

 oi milk. As they grow much larger 

 than the varieties cultivated for table 

 use, they require more room, and 

 should be sown in drills two feet 

 apart. The seeds should be dropped 

 about two inches apart in the drills, 

 and when strong enough, thinned out 

 to twelve or fifteen inches in the row. The long varieties are 

 best suited to a deep soil, and the globe sorts succeed better 

 than the low sorts on sandy soil. 



Kich soil is essential to success, and if provided, enormous 

 quantities per acre can be raised of these useful products. 

 If by mail add 16c per pound for postage. 

 Bi^Six to eight pounds of seed will sow one acre. 

 S^^FoT quantities of five pounds and upwards, write for 

 ^sp^al prices. 



>^Qiant Long Red MangeL Grown more largely than any 

 other variety. Roots very long and thick, and grow partly 

 above ground. Flesh white and rose colored. Ounce 5c, 

 pound 15c, pound 40c. 



Long White Mangel and Long Yellow Mangel. Not 



differing materially from the first mentioned sort except in 

 coljMpr Ounce 5c, pound 15c, pound 40c. 



^^Golden Tankard. Grows tankard -shaped and almost en- 

 tirely alcove ground. Grows very large. Flesh bright yellow 

 in color, and contains nearly as much saccharine matter as 

 the sugar beets. Ounce 5c, )^ pound 15c, pound 40c. 



hampion Globe flangel. Grows very large and glob-* 

 ular in form, a good keeping sort and very productive, 

 well adapted for shallow soil. Ounce 5c, ^ pound 15c, 

 pound 40c. 



mproved Sugar Beet. This variety is much cultivated for 

 the manufacture of sugar. Very rich in saccharine matter, 

 and is excellent for stock feed. Ounce 5c, }4 pound 15c, 

 po md 50c. 



CORN, SWEET OR SUGAR. (Zucker Welshkorn.) 



Sugar corn is very susceptible to wet or cold, and should 

 not be planted until the soil has become quite warm. If 

 planted too early it makes no headway and is very liable to 

 rot. Plant in hills from three to four feet apart each way, or 

 in rows four to five feet apart and eight to twelve inches in 

 the row. The taller the variety and the richer the soil the 

 more space it requires. For a succession of crops, continue 

 planting at intervals of every two weeks until the middle of 

 July, which will supply you with a continuous crop of good 

 roasting ears until frost. 



If by mail, add postage at the rate of 10c per quart. 

 All varieties of Sugar Corn, Large Packet 5c, Quart 20c, 



Peck $1.25, unless quoted otherwise. 

 - Cory. The earliest variety yet introduced. The stalks are 

 short and the ears are very low down, and it can be planted 

 twQ^nd one-half feet apart. It is ready for use three or four 

 da^s earlier than Marblehead. 



Ir Early White Cory. In all respects identical with the above 

 except, in color, kernels and cob being entirely white; the 

 earlipess remains the same. This removes an objection some 

 h^?fe had to the Cory on ;iccount of its color. 

 |j/stabler's Early. A new variety, of larger size than usual 

 Tor the early kinds. It is remarkable for sweetness and earli- 

 ness ; ripens nearly as early as the Cory ; a desirable garden- 

 er's and canning variety. Very popular with Philadelphia 

 truckers. 



Old Colony. An exceedingly sweet and productive variety, 

 averaging three ears on every stalk. The ears are of large 

 size and always well filled. It ripens about the same time as 

 Moore's Concord, perhaps a little later 



^afarly Crosby. Matures right after the Minnesota; ears 

 somewhat larger and twelve-rowed, kernels small; a desira- 

 bl^• variety. 



i<y^ Adams' Extra Early. Not a sugar corn, but grown for 

 ▼ table use on account of its extreme earliness. Ears of fair 



size for so early a variety. 

 B*i-.Early flinnesota. A few days later than the preceding; 



ea^^i about same length but thinner, stalks quite small. 

 if^arly Mammoth. Eipens 



two weeks earlier than the Late 



Mammoth, which variety it 



mu'cb resembles. The ears are 



fully as long, but more taper- 

 ing and large at the butt; qual- 

 ity very good, a splendid mar- 

 ket >ort and highly desirable. 



A^owell's Evergreen. Grown 



more extensively than any 



other variety, being a great 



favorite with market gardeners 



and canners for late use. The 



ears are of a large size, kernels 



very deep, tender and sugary. 



Very productive, and remains 



a long time in fit condition for 



taJ»Te use. 

 Late Mammoth Sugar. This 



produces larger ears than any 



other sweet corn we have, 



single ears at times attaining a 



weight of two and three 



pounds Quality very good. 



It ripens a little later than the 



Evergreen. The cobs are large 



and the grains flatter. 

 ^' lienderson's. In the green 



condition, when ready for the 



table it is always pure white, 



and of a remarkably sweet 



and rich flavor; ripens about 



ten days earlier than Ever- 

 green, and is one of the most 



valuable sort for canning pur- 

 poses.
