SUGAR BEET 



Sugar Beets are desirable not only for the manufacture of sugar, but are in- 

 valuable for stock feeding and table use. The best soil is 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 in drills two 

 feet apart, twelve to tw^enty seeds to the foot. The seed should be well covered with 

 one inch of soil pressed firmly over it. Cultivate frequently, AVhen about three 

 inches high thin six to ten inches apart. 



BEETS FOR SUGAR MAKING 



I "L.* \/* * * Unquestionably the highest developed strain of beet. 



JstenSCn S VlCtriX Roots of meditim size and very uniform in type. Excep- 

 tionally rich in sugar content, and most valuable for sugar making. We have 

 been appointed sole agents for the sale of Jaensch's Victrix in America. 

 Per Lb. 3oc; postpaid. Lots of 5 lbs. to 35 lbs. by express, at purchaser's ex- 

 pense, 35c. per lb. Original sealed sacks, weighing about 110 Lbs. each, $17.50 

 per sack f. o. b. Detroit.

 from an excess of nitrogen and will keep the best. Size medium; yielding from 

 ten to sixteen tons per acre, Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 10c; % Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c.

. M. r erry & Co S Improved straight and well formed, compar- 

 IVTammr^fk f mntr Iht^A atively thicker ^nd deeper colored than the 

 mammoth I^Ong Ked common sort and with smaller top. Our stock 

 will produce the largest and finest roots which can be grown and is vastly 

 superior to many strains offered under other names, such as Norbitan Giant, 

 Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 3 Oz. 10c; h Lb. 15c; Lb. 3oc. 

 •^j- u V • .1 Root long, olive shaped, growing over one-half out of 



Yellow Leviathan the ground; flesh white, sweet and tender; top green, 

 comparatively small: neck small, short. Its fine flesh never becomes woody 

 and its root grows so well out of the ground that the crop is very easily har- 

 vested. This variety stands at the head of the list in yield of roots per acre.

T^^f\CCf\J I The culture is the same in all essentials as forcauli- 

 DIvv/'OlwvJ'L-.i flower. Broccoli is grown most successfully where the 



season is long, cool and rather moist. One of the most valuable features is 



that it withstands greater extremes of temperature than cauUflower. 

 y-,,- -«¥ri*.r-< 1 The best variety. Heads white, very

Giant Feeding Sugar Beet, or Half Sugar Mangel 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS— Improved Half Dwarf 



The plants grow two or three feet high and produce from the sides of 

 the stalk numerous little sprouts which resemble very small cabbages 

 one or two inches in diameter. The leaves should be broken down in the 

 fall to give the little heads more room the grow; very hardy and giving 

 compact, round sprouts of large size and good quality. Pkt, 6c;
