COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



SUGAR BEETS AND MAN= 

 GEL WURZEL 



The following varieties are valuable for stock feed- 

 ing. We can honestly urge our friends to plant 

 them in quantity; they give immense crops, are eas- 

 ily raised, harvested and kept through the winter. 

 The results from their use are wonderful, and are 

 clearly shown in the improved health and condition 

 of animals, the increased yield of milk in cows, and 

 the great sa\ing in ha\- and corn. Sow in di'ills 30 

 inches apart, on rich, well prepared ground early in 

 spring. Cultivate wi'll and thin to 8 inches in the 

 row. For winter, store in pits or cellar as soon as 

 heavj' frost is feared. From four to six pounds will 

 sow an acre.
