EWING *S GIANT INTERMEDIATE SUGAR BEET 
Add Sc. per lb. if by mail. 
Taking into account its extra heavy crop production, in comparison with Danish 
Sugar Beet, and to which it is very similar, farmers will find it to be by far the most 
profitable of the two. 
GIANT ROSE SUGAR BEET— is intermediate in form, not so long as the Long Red Mangel 
but of much greater diameter of shoulder, which is a rosy color, while below the ground 
the root is nearly white. Its pre-eminent qi'alities are Heavy production; Solidity, 
thus rendering it a grand keeper; Great feeding value on account of its extra percentage 
of saccharine matter, occasioned by its origin being the hybridizing of the Long Red 
Mangel with the richest sugar-producing varieties of Sugar Beets ; Ease in harvesting, 
as it has but one tap root. To sum up its advantages, it is a much greater cropper than 
any variety of Sugar Beet, more nutritive than any JVVangel, and on account of its sweet 
sugary flavor is greedily eaten by all classes of stock, and produces the richest and best 
flavored Milk and Butter, while for Beef production it is particularly profitable.

-FR. 
A reliable 
BROAD LEAVED ESSEX — Rape is of easy eult\ire, and can be either sown at the rate of 
2 lbs. per acre, in drills, and cultivated in the same way as Turnips, or may be sown 
broadcast (but only when the land i» clean), at the rate of 5 lbs. of seed to the acre. 
In order to get a full paying result in either case, the land should be well manured. 
It can be sown any time in June or early in July, so that its advantages as a " catch" 
crop are apparent. The best way is to feed it off the fields, with sheep or hogs, and 
there is nothing that will fatten lambs in the fall so well and so cheaply as Rape will,
