 Mammoth Long Red ?'?™'1Se,™ltTmi? 



straight and well formed, comparatively thicker 

 and deeper colored than the comuion sort and with 

 smaller top. We know our stock of tliis variety 

 will produce the largest and finest roots which can 

 be grown and that it is vastly superior to many 

 strains of the same sort offered under other names, 

 such as Norbitan Giant, Colossal, Monarch, etc.

YELLOW GLOBE A large, round, orange-col- 

 ored variety of excellent quality, producing a better 

 crop on shaUow soil than the Long Red. The roots 

 often keep better than those of the long varieties, 

 as they can be more easily handled without injury.

rir^nnP filnhP We think this one of the b^stva- 

 Vri aiiyt/ UIUUC rletlesof Mangel Wurzel grown 

 for stock feeding. It has an exceedingly small top 

 and few leaves; leaf stalk and blade green; root 

 medium sized, uniformly .globe shaped, having a 

 very small tap and few side roots; color of skin deep 

 orange-yellow; flesh white and of excellent quality. The 

 root grows almost entirely above ground, making it ad- 

 mirably adapted to shallow soil and very easy to harvest.

 avllUn LCYiailiail one- half out of the ground: flesh white, 

 sweet and tender: top green, comparatively small: neck small, 

 short. We think this is perhaps the best of the yellow field beets, 

 because its fine flesh never becomes woody and its root grows so 

 well out of the ground that the crop is easily harvested. Pkt. 5c ;

Mangel Wurzel 



Although originating from a very distinct type, the modern 

 improved sorts of Brocoli can scarcely be distinguished from 

 cauliflower; the points of difference being that they are gener- 

 aUy taller and the heads more divided. The culture is the same 

 as that given for cauliflower.

 easily grown sort. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 45c; 2 Oz. 85c; ^ Lb. $1.50 



Brussels Sprouts. 



Sprouts 



Improved Half Dwarf. The 



plants which are very hardy, 

 grow two or three feet high, 

 and produce from the sides of 

 the stalk numerous little 

 sprouts which resemble very 

 small cabbages, one o r two 

 inches in diameter. The 

 leaves should be broken down 

 in the fall to give the little 

 heads more room to grow. 

 They should be treated in all 

 respects like winter cabbage 

 or kale. We offer a carefully 

 grown strain, very hardy, and 

 giving compact, round sproiits 

 of large size and good quality.
