These beets yield enormously, sometimes 

 making- fifteen tons per acre, and are very 

 nutritious and fattening-, not only improv- 

 ing- the health and g-eneral 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 largrer yielding: crop. Every farmer 

 should g-ro-vv them. 



CniiTUBB. — 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 Red 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.

CUZiTUBB. — A vegetable cultivated the

 appear along the upper part of the stalk 

 between the leaves make a fine dish when 

 well prepared. Should bo 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.). 



CniiTUBB. — 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 ofE 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. 



DWABF GBBMAH OBBBITS.— Is a 



dwarf, very hardy and popular variety with 

 market gardeners. 



BROCCOLI. 



For Price £ist See Bed Fag-es in Back of 

 Book. 



Choux Broccoli (Fr.), Spargel-Kohl (Ger,). 

 Broculi (Sp.), Brocoli (Ital.). 



FUBFIiE CAFE,— 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.
