COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



SUGAR BEETS AND MANGEL 

 WURZEL. 



The following varieties are valuable for stock 

 feeding. We can honestly urge our friends to 

 plant them In quantity; they give immense 

 crops, are easily raised, harvested and kept 

 through the winter. The results from their use 

 are wonderful, and are clearly shown in the im- 

 proved health and condition of animals, the 

 Increased yield of milk in cows, and the great 

 saving in hay and corn. Sow in drills 30 inches 

 apart, on rich, well prepared ground early in 

 Spring. Cultivate well, and thin to 8 inches in 

 the row. For winter, store in pits or cellar as 

 soon as heavy frost is feared. From 4 to 6 

 pounds will sow an acre.

 ads for which it is prized; it is also used for 

 garnishing. Sow seed early in the spring, rather 

 thickly, in shallow drills, one foot apart, in the 

 open ground: for a succession, sow at short in- 

 tervals throughout the season. 

 UPLAND. This new vegetable is destined to be- 

 come a most valuable acquisition. It is a har- 

 dy perennial, thriving on any soil, wet or dry, 

 and is the first to make its appearance in early 

 spring. It grows very rapidly, so that in a few 

 days it is ready for use. The young and tender 

 leaves can be eaten raw, or as a salad, or when 

 the leaves become large, boiled as greens. In 

 taste it is very pleasant, having the flavor of 

 the Water Cress, so highly prized, and is agree-

 years. The leaves and stalks are used as salad 

 and :ire considered a very wholesome dish. Per
