i T ncltoe R po!tage BEETS FOR TABLE— Continued

 altogether a superior sort. Slimmer tap roots — more mouse-tailed. Root 

 varying from half flat to round. Flesh solid, deep blood-red, of excellent qual- 

 ity, sugary. Skin smooth and free from side fibres. Private gardeners will find 

 Beets of fully double the usual value if they are pulled and served on the table 

 when so small as to be no larger than a silver quarter of a dollar. At that age 

 they are delicious, and when for pulling that small can be grown very thickly in 

 the rows. The Landreths' Best is very choice for such early use, having an 



intensely red color and delicate texture and flavor $1 . 75 . 50 .20 5

BEETS— MANGOLD- WURZELS 



A family of Beets bred to a large size for Cattle feeding. The roots are easily injured by Autumn frosts, 

 and therefore must be taken up in good time and properly protected. When first harvested they are acrid 

 and scour cattle, but after a few weeks become palatable and safe. The approved types produce massive 

 roots which, well elevated above the surface, are harvested with the greatest ease and produce double the 

 weight of Turnips to the acre, to which advantage may be added the high nutritive value, the saccharine 

 often being equal to 6 or 7 per cent, of the gross weight. The Mangold is a high feeder — potash and nitro- 

 gen are needed. Drill when the Cherry is in bloom.
