QIANT GOLDEN— (See Citt.) This is an entirely distinct type of Mangel, of recent intro- 

 duction, and highly prized whercTer introduced. In England it is largely grown by dairy- 

 men and sheep raisers; the former prize it not only for its great yield, but for me rich character 

 of the milk it produces, while the latter claim sheep fed on it thrive better and appear 

 in much finer condition^, Its wonderful yield and popularity in the old country 

 certainly recommends it to every stock grower in America, and from our experience with • 

 it we know it will prove Yer.v valuable to all dairymen. Flesh is a light yellow and fine 

 grained. Pkt. Sc, oz. loc, i-4 lb. 20c. lb. 50c. By express or freight, 10 lb. lots 35c per lb. 

 nAY'S MAMMOTH LONG RED— (See Cut.) This is the finest strain of the Long Red ever 

 offered. The mangels raised from our selected seed are remarkable for their immense size 

 (often weighing 30 to 50 poiinds each) and freedom from the coarse grain so often found 

 in the large varieties. If you wanta big crop of fine mangels that will be ^ great benefit to your 

 stock, increasing the flow of milk and fattening them, you can find nothing that will beat our 

 Mammoth. Pkt. 5c, oz. loc, iM lb. 15c, lb. 35«S- By expresis or freight, lo lb. lots, 20c per !b.

We take special pleasure in recommending our strains of cabbage to our patrons. Exer- 

 cising, as we do, the utmost care in the growth and selection of our seed stocks, we know 

 that the cabbage seed which we offer is unsurpassed in quality. We do not offer two strains 

 of one variety, as we deem the Best none too good for those who kindly favor us with 

 their orders. 



CABBAGE— Will thrive on anv good corn land, though the stronger the soil the better 

 it will develop. New land is preferable. Plow deep a>nd manure vei-y liberally. The 

 early sorts bear planting from eighteen inches to two feet apart in the rows, with the rows froin two to two and one-half feet apart, the large 



varieties to be from two to fottr fejt apart in the rows, with rows- 

 from two and one-half to fourfeet apart, the distance varying with 

 the size. Cabbage will not usually follow cabbage or turnips sue- 

 cessfulK' in field cultui-e, unless three or four 3'ears have intervened 

 between the crops. Ifit is desirable to economize space, lettuce or rad- 

 ish maybe sown between the rows, as they will be out of the way 

 before the cabbage needs the room. For late or winter crops the 

 seed is sown in May, and the plants set outin July. Cabbage shoiild 

 be hoed every week, and the ground stirred as it advances in 

 growth, drawing up a little earth to the plant each time until it 

 begins to head, when it should be thoroughly cultivated and left to 

 mature. Loosening the roots will sometimes retard the bursting oF 

 full grownheads. 



To destroy the green worm that is so destracrive to the leaves 

 and heads of cabbage and cauliflower, take one ounce of saltpeti-e- 

 and dissolve it in 12 quarts of water, then take ashorthandled\\'hislc 

 broom, dip it in the solution, and sprinkle the jjlants well. One- 

 application is sufficient, uiiless the stuff is washed offby heavj' rains.. 

 The liquid, being perfectly clear, never colors the cabbage or cauli- 

 flower heads. To preveiit the turnip flea from attacking the young 

 plants, sift fine air-slacked lime or tobacco dust over them, as soon as- 

 they appear above ground. To preserve cabbages dui'ing the winter, 

 puli them on a dry day, and turn them over on their heads a few 

 hours to drain. Set them out in a cool cellar or out of doors in long: 

 trenches in a dry situation, covering with boards or straw so as to 

 keep out frost and rain. 



fllNNESOTA EARLIEST— (See Cut.) A conical shaped, hard headed, 

 extra early cabbage that never fails to give satisfaction. We introduced 

 this splendid variety in 1891, and it at once took the lead amongthe 

 large growers who desired an extra early cabbage for the markets. 

 One of the largest growers of cabbages near St. Paul stated that for two 

 seasons past he had been the first to bring cabbage to the market, and 

 they always brought a very high price, and that he owed it all to ouir 

 ninnesota Earliest. We have tested all the extra early cabbages 

 offered the past few seasons and know that none can surpass our 

 Surprise and Minnesota Earliest. It will produce good sized 

 marketable heads seventy davs from sowing of the seed.
