BEET—continued 
MANGEL WURZEL 
The Mangel Wurzel, also called Mangel, Cattle Beet and Field Beet, may be grown in almost any soil, but deep loams are 
necessary for heavy yields of the long varieties. When well grown the roots give an immense yield of very valuable food for 
stock. Plant early in spring in drills two to two and one-half feet apart, 
and about one inch apart in the row, covering with about one and 7 
one-half inches of fine soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate frequently. 
When about three inches high begin thinning and continue at intervals 
until the roots stand about ten inches apart. 
Giant Feeding Sugar Beet or Half Sugar Mangel 
Desirable for stock feeding, affording not only a very large crop much 
easier to harvest than other sorts but also having higher nutritive value, 
being especially rich in sugar. The roots are light bronze green above 
ground, grayish white below, with white flesh. On account of growing ~ 
partly out of the ground and the long ovoid shape the crop can be 
harvested and stored easily and at less expense than any other root crop.

The roots are very large, uniformly 
Mammoth Long Red straight and well formed and compara- 
tively thicker than the common sort. The flesh is white tinged with 
rose. This strain under careful culture is enormously productive. 
Our stock will produce the largest and finest roots which can be grown 
for feeding stock and is vastly superior to many strains offered under 
other names, such as Norbitan Giant, Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 10c;

e The roots of this exceedingly productive sort 
Yellow Leviathan grow about one-half out of the ground and f 
are very easily harvested. In shape they are long fusiform, or spindle 
shaped tapering from the middle to each end, and have a small collar. 
The color is light gray tinged with brown above ground, yellow below. 
The flesh is white, sometimes slightly tinged with yellow. The tops are 
green and comparatively small. The roots have less tendency to become 
woody than most sorts. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 20c; 4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 60c. 
The tops are comparatively small, with the 
Golden Tankard leaf stalks and veins distinetly tinged with 
yellow. The neckis small. The roots are large, ovoid, but with bottom 
usually of larger diameter than top, light gray above ground, deep 
orange below. The flesh is yellow, zoned with white. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c;

SUGAR BEET 
The Sugar Beets are desirable not only for sugar making but are 
valuable for stock feeding and when small may be used for the table. 
The best soilis a rich, friable sandy, or clayey loam. Rich, mucky soils 
will often give an immense yield of roots which, though excellent for 
feed, are of little value for sugar making. 
Plant early in spring in drills two to two and one-half feet apart, and 
about one inch apart in the row, covering with about one and one-half 
inches of fine soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate frequently. When 
about three inches high begin thinning and continue at intervals until 
the roots stand about ten inches apart. 
FOR SUGAR MAKING 
° The roots are a little larger than Vilmorin’s 
Klein Wanzleben Improved and a little hardier and easier grown. 
The tops are rather large and the leaves slightly waved. This sort 
often yields under careful culture from twelve to eighteen tons per acre. 
It is probably the best sort for the experimenter to use. Pkt. 10c; é

BROCCOL The heads resemble somewhat a coarse cauliflower and the culture is the same in all essentials as 
for that vegetable. Broccoliis well adapted only to those sections where the season is long, cool 
and rather moist. One of the most valuable features is that it withstands greater extremes of temperature than cauliflower. 
° This is considered the best of the white heading sorts for most sections. The plants 
Early Large White French are very hardy, vigorous and easily grown. The heads are white, compact, hard anal of 
good quality. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 80c; 2 Oz. $1.30; '4 Lb. $2.25; Lb. $7.50 
I li G S ° An all seasons variety that comes into use about ninety days after planting. If started in 
talian Green Sprouting hot bed April first, will be ready for use the first week in July. It ismuch less susceptible 
to weather changes than caulifiower and will produce heads in hot weather which would cause failure in cauliflower. By 
successive plantings a supply can be had from July first until hard freezing weather. Culture the same as for cabbage. (See 
illustration and further description on page 4.) Pkt. 10c; Oz $1.00; 2 oz. $1.75; 14 Lb. $3.25. 
BRUSSELS SPROUT Used in the fall and early winter and by some considered more tender ana deli- 
cious than any cabbage. Plant resembles the cabbage, the edible part being 
the numerous very small heads or sprouts an inch or two in diameter formed on the stalk at each leaf joint. The 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. 
We have found this strain very desirable in that it will produce sprouts under less favorable 
Long Island Improved conditions than any variety we have ever tried. The plants are or dwarf habit but furnish a 
large yield of sprouts of excellent quality. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; % Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00
