THE BARTELDES 
SUGAR BEETS AND STOCK BEETS 
Runkel Ruben Remolachas Forrajetas 
CULTURE. The soil for these should be plowed more deeply and the drills should be farther apart 
than for garden beets. Sow in April or beginning of May in drills from 2 to 3 feet apart, and when 4 to 5 
inches high thin to 12 or 15 inches in the row. As soon as frost comes dig up the roots, cut top off and then 
pile 5 to 6 feet deep on a raised and sloping situation and cover at frost with straw or hay and one inch 
of earth. As it gets colder, increase to 5 or 6 inches of earth; by so doing all danger of heating is obviated, 
and the roots keep until next summer. Four or five pounds are sown to the acre. Sugar beets are also 
used for stock feeding, and while not as large as the Mangels, they have a higher percentage of sugar and 
therefore are of higher feeding value.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Rosenkohl Col de Bruselas 
This another member of the Cabbage family. 
They form a straight stock which bears on all sides 
a large number of miniature cabbages. These have 
a particularly fine flavor and are esteemed a delicacy 
by many. 
■Brussels Sprouts are more hardy than cabbage, 
and in mild climates may remain in the open ground 
• all winter, the heads being removed as desired. 
For winter use in cold localities, take up plants that 
are well laden with heads and set them close together 
in a pit, cold frame or cellar, with a little soil around 
the roots. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; M-lb. 75c

crisp and very sweet, and the beet grows well above
