Dewing's 

 Improved 

 Beet. 



SILVER BEET OR SWISS CHARD.— 



This variety does not make edible roots, 

 but is grown for the broad white-leaved 

 stalks, which can be bunched together and 

 cooked in the same manner as Asparagus. 

 It is a splendid summer vegetable and will 

 do well in middle latitudes. The young 

 roots may be gathered also and cooked 

 like Spinach. Packet, 5c. and 10c; oz. 25c; 

 V4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50, postpaid. 



EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN RED TUR- 

 NIP. — This is a well known variety, very 

 early, tender, deep red and of Turnip shape. 

 Leaves of this variety are smaller than the 

 others. The seeds are also much smaller. 

 We recommend it and consider it a good 

 acquisition. Packet, 5c and 10c; oz. 25c; 

 14 lb., 70c; lb., $2.00, postpaid. 



PROTSCHER'S THREE-QUARTER RED. 



— A decided improvement on the Blood 

 Turnip, excellent for family use and also 

 for shipping; retains its color longer than 

 any other variety; quick growth and not 

 much foliage. Packet, 5c and 10c; oz. 

 20c; % lb. 60c; lb. $2.00, postpaid. 



ECLIPSE. — Introduced from Germany; 

 very regular; of globular shape. It has a 

 small top, is of dark blood red color, sweet 

 and fine grained flesh. It comes earlier 

 than the Egyptian. Packet, 5c and 10c; 

 oz. 25c; 14 lb. 70c; lb. $2.00, postpaid. 



DEWINGS IMPROVED. — Quite early, 

 round turnip-shaped, of good size, with 

 deeply colored flesh. Packet, 5c and 10c; 

 oz. 25c; 14 lb., 70c; lb. $2.00, postpaid. 



White Prench Sugar. 



Long: Red Mangel. 



BEETS FOR STOCK FEEDING. 



Golden Tankard. 



These beets yield enormously, some- 

 times making fifteen tons per acre, and 

 are very nutritious and fattening, not 

 only improving the health and general 

 condition of stock, but greatly increasing 

 both the quantity and quality of milk in 

 cows. They are much superior in their 

 feeding qualities to Turnips, and are a 

 much surer and larger yielding crop. 

 Every farmer should grow them. 



CULTURE. — In planting remember that 

 the Golden Tankard grows well above the 

 ground, the White French grows partly in 



and partly above the soil, and the Long 

 Red grows more like the Long Red Beet; 

 so by planting the three varieties and 

 feeding in the order named, good Stock 

 Beets may be had, regardless of season. 

 One ounce to 150 feet of drill; 6 lbs. to acre. 

 WHITE PRENCH SUGAR. — Largest and 

 best of the true Sugar Beets for the South. 

 Their high sugar content makes them es- 

 pecially valuable in fattening live stock 

 of all kinds. A most profitable crop for 

 stock feeding. Packet, 5c and 10c; 

 oz. 20c; 14 lb. 50c; lb. $1.75, postpaid.
