 nan dUgar itlcingei establishedintheaiANX feeding sugar a 

 strain of beets which, while giving nearly as large a yield of easily grown 

 and hax-vested roots as a crop of Mangels, supplies a food of very much 

 higher nutritive value. The roots for feeding purposes are really more val- 

 uable, pound for pound, than those of the very best sti-ains of Sugar Beet, 

 and the yield under equally favorable conditions is more than double. The 

 roots are light bronze green, grow partly out of the ground and because of 

 this and their shape the crop can be harvested and stored easily and at less 

 expense than any other root crop. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 3 Oz. 10c; h. Lb. loc;

 ITiailllllUUI LUIiy MCU thicker and deeper colored than the 

 common sort and with smaller top. 

 Our stock of this variety will 

 produce the largest and finest 

 roots which can be grown, and is 

 vastly superior to many strains of 

 the same sort offered under other 

 names, such as Norbitan Giant, 

 Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 6c;

 YELLOW GLOBE. A medium sized, yellow variety of excellent quality, producing 

 a better crop on shallow soil than the Long Red. The roots often keep better than those 

 of the long varieties, as they can be more easily handled without injury. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 10c; 3 Oz. 10c; h Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c. 



It has an exceedingly small top and few leaves: leaf stalk and 

 blade green; root medium sized, uniformly globe shaped, hav- 

 ing a very small tap and few side roots; color of skin deep orange-yellow; flesh 

 white and of excellent quality. The root grows almost entirely above ground, mak- 

 ing it admirably adapted to shallow soil and very easy to harvest. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 10c; 3 Oz. 10c; H Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c. 



Root long, olive-shaped, growing over one-half out of the 

 ground; flesh white, sweet and tender; top green, com- 

 paratively small; neck small, short. Its fine flesh never becomes woody and its root 

 grows so well out of the ground that the crop is easily harvested. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;

BROCOLI 



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. The culture is 

 the same as that given for cauliflower.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



Improved Half Dwarf. The plants, which are very hardy, 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 to grow. They 

 should be treated in all respects like winter cabbage or kale. We offer a carefully 

 grown strain, very hardy and giving compact, round sprouts of large size and 

 good quaUty. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 3 Oz. 35cj h Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50
