D. M. FERRY & GO'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



SUGAR BEET 



Desirable not only for the manufacture of sugar, but are invaluable for st 

 ing and when small may be used for the table. The best soil is a rich, friable 

 clayey loam. Rich, mucky soils will often give an immense yield of roots whicFs^? 

 excellent for feed, are of little value for sugar making. Plant in drills tw " 

 and one-half feet apart, twelve to twenty seeds to the foot. The seed shouk 

 covered with about one inch of soil pressed firmly over it. Cultivate fr 

 When about three inches high thin to about ten inches apart.

 Mangel Wurzel 



This vegetable is used in the fall and 

 early winter and by some considered 

 more tender and delicious than any cabbage. The plant resembles the cabbage, the 

 edible part being the numerous very small heads or sprouts an inch or two in di- 

 ameter formed on the stalk at each leaf joint. Culture is the same in all essentials as 

 for cabbage, except the leaves should be broken down in the fall to give the little heads 

 more room to grow.

improved rlalr Uwarr one and one-half to three feet high, very hardy and
