These beets yield enormously, sometimes 
making fifteen tons per acre, and are very 
nutritious and fattening, not only improy- 
ing the health and general condition of 
stock, but greatly increasing both the 
quantity and quality of milk in cows. 
They are much superior in their feeding 
qualities to Turnips, and are a much surer 
and larger yielding crop. Every farmer 
should grow them. 
CULTURBE.—In planting remember that 
the Golden Tankard grows well above the 
ground, the White French grows partly in 
and partly above the soil, and the Long 
Red grows more like the Long Blood Beet; 
so by planting the three varieties and 
feeding in the order named, good Stock 
Beets may be had, regardless of season. 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill; 6 pounds to 
the acre.

CULTURE.—A vegetable cultivated the 
same as Cabbage. The small heads which 
appear along the upper part of the stalk 
between the leaves make a fine dish when 
well prepared. Should be sown during 
Spring and Fall. One ounce to 3,000 
plants; 5 ounces will plant an acre.

Choux-vert (Fr.), Gruener Kohl (Ger.), 
Breton (Sp.), Cavolo Verde (Ital.) 
CULTURBRE.—This is a popular boiling- 
green for Fall, Winter and early Spring 
use, resembling Cabbage in flavor. The 
plant is entirely hardy in well-drained soil 
and can be grown easily from seed planted 
during the Summer and Fall months. The 
plants are usually cut off for use when the 
leaves are six inches or more in length, but 
with the fine curled varieties the leaves 
can be gathered for use when of good 
size. The sweetness and flavor of these 
greens are improved by freezing weather. 
One ounce should produce three thousand 
plants; 4 ounces to the acre. 
DWARF GERMAN GREENS.—Is a 
dwarf, very hardy and popular variety with 
market gardeners. 
BROCCOLI. 
For Price List See Red Pages in Back of 
Book. 
Choux Broccoli (Fr.), Spargel-Kohl (Ger.), 
Broculi (Sp.), Brocoli (Ital.) 
PURPLE CAPE.—Resembles the Cauli- 
flower, but not forming such compact 
heads, and not quite so white, being of 
greenish cast. This is the most desirable 
variety, cultivated the same as Half 
Early Cauliflower. Further north than 
New Orleans, where Cauliflower does not 
succeed, the Broccoli may be substituted, 
being hardier. One ounce to 3,000 plants; 
5 ounces will plant an acre.
