SUGAR BEET 



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

 are invaluable for stock feeding and table use. The best soil is a rich, 

 friable sandy, or clayey loam. Rich, mucky soils will often give an im- 

 mense yield of roots which, though excellent for feed, are of little value 

 for sugar making. Plant in drills two feet apart, twelve to twenty seeds 

 to the foot. The seed should be well covered with one inch of soil pressed 

 firmly over it. Cultivate frequently. When about three inches high thin 

 six to ten inches apart.

BROCCOLI 



The culture is the same in all essentials as for cauliflower. Broccoli is grown most 

 successfullv where the season is long, cool and rather moist. One of the most valu- 

 able features is that it withstands greater extremes of temperature than cauliflower. 

 T- , « 1171 *. in> 1 The best variety. Heads white, very compact

ImprOVed rialr i/Warr duce from the sides of the stalk numerous little 

 sprouts which resemble verv small cabbages one or two inches in diameter. The 

 leaves should be broken down in the fall to give the little heads more room_ to
