D. M. FERRY & CO’S IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED. 
An improvement on the old variety. The roots are very large, 
uniformly straight and well formed, proportionally thicker, and 
are deeper colored than the common sort and with smaller tops. 
We know our stock of this variety will produce the largest and 
finest roots which can be grown and that it is vastly superior to 
strains of the same sort offered under other names such as Nor- 
bitan Giant, Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 5cts.; Oz. 10cets.;

YELLOW LEVIATHAN.—Roots long, olive shaped, 
very large, growing over one-half out of the ground; flesh 
white, sweet and tender; tops bright green, compara-

haps the best of the yellow field beets, because its fine 
flesh never becomes woody, and its roots grow so well & 
out of the ground that the crop is easily harvested. =

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 generally taller and the heads more divided. By =~. 
some considered more delicate than the cauliflower. ERR 
CuLTURE—The same as that given for cauliflower. eS

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

, high, and produce from the sides of the stalk numerous 
little sprouts resembling cabbage heads, one or two inches 
in diameter. The leaves should be broken down in the fall,
