WUKZELS 



are grown for 

 stock, and as they 

 grow larger than 

 other Beets, re- 

 quire more room. 

 They should be 

 sown from April 

 to June, in drills 

 two and a-half ft. 

 apart, and the 

 plants thinned to 

 twelve or fifteen 

 inches in the row. 

 The attention of 

 farmers to the 

 growing of Beets 

 for stock feeding 

 has rapidly in- 

 creased, but it 

 should be grown 

 more generally, 

 and will show the 

 results in the 

 health and condi- 

 tion of the stock. 

 It supplies good, 

 rich food for cat- 

 tle during the 

 winter.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



German, Kopfkobl Gruner.

A class of plants allied to the Cabbage family, 

 producing a great number of small heads for 

 sprouts on the main stem of the plant, which are 

 used and prepared as greens. It is a delicious veg- 

 etable, especially after being exposed to the frost. 

 Plant in rich soil, in hills two feet apart each way.

BROCCOLI.

 family. They require similar cultivation and treat- 

 ment to Cauliflower.

CABBAGE. 



German, Kopfkobl. 



(One ounce of seed to 100 yards of row.) 



Cabbage will thrive on any good corn land, though 

 the stronger the soil the better they will develop. 

 New land is preferable. Plow deep and manure 

 very liberally, as Cabbage is a strong feeder and 

 will repay for the care bestowed upon it. The early 

 sorts bear planting from eighteen inches to two 

 feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two to 

 two and a half feet apart. The larger varieties to 

 be from two to four feet apart in the rows, with 

 the rows from two and a half to four feet apart, 

 the distance varying with the size. It does not pay 

 to buy cheap Cabbage seed. Ours is American 

 grown, and from the best stock in the country. 



For early use, sow in a hot-bed February or 

 March, and transplant to a cold-frame as soon as 

 large enough. In April the plants may be set out 

 in the rows. For late crop sow in nursery bed in 

 May or June, and transplant as soon as the plants 

 are five or six inches high. The ground should be 

 thoroughly cultivated every week until the plants 

 meet in the rows. 



LARGE EARLY YORK.— One of the earliest. 

 Forms a medium size pointed head.

ALL-HEAD EARLY CABBAGE. 



This is the earliest of all large Cabbages, fully 

 one-third larger than the Early Summer, therefore 

 more profltable to the market gardener. It is the 

 nearest approach to a thoroughbred Cabbage of 

 any variety, both in size and uniform development. 

 As the All-Head comes in quicker than any of the 

 other Flat Cabbages, it is consequently more ten- 

 der. It is also valuable for a late or winter Cab- 

 bage.
