Ewing's Famous **Quality" Agricultural Seeds 
The sowing of the BEST QUALIT^'Y of seeds is of the utmost importance, and success with root crops need not be expected 
unless the land be thoroughly and deeply cultivated and from twenty to thirty loads of stable manure applied the previous fall 
(or its equivalent in artificial manures) per acre. 
SUGAR BEET 
-Fr. BETTERAVE A SUCRE 
KLEIN-WANZLEBEN — The most popular variety for sugar factories. The sugar content depends on intelligent care and 
,!evelopment on the part of the seed grower. It is wedge-shaped, wide at the top and tapering gradually to a long tail. This 
variety is most planted by sugar factories, as it has a high sugar content. One of the greatest milk-producing roots known. ^

quality. H lb. 20c.; lb. 6Sc. (post paid, lb. 75c.; K lb. 2Sc.). 
EWING'S GIANT INTERMEDIATE 
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 qualities are heavy productiort. 
solidityt thus rendering it a grand keeper; great feeding value on account 
of its extra percentage of saccharine matter, occasioned by its origin being 
the hybridizmg of the I^ng 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 Mangel, and on account of its sweet sug^^y 
Oavor 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 pro- 
fitable. H lb. 20c.; lb. 6Sc.: 5 lbs. $3.00. Postpaid. K lb. 25c.; lb. 75c.; 
5 lbs. $3.50. 
CARROT 
-Fr. CAROTTE 
FIELD VARIETIES 
Carrot seed, if sown when the soil is cold, germinates slowly, so that it is 
best to allow the warm spring weather to have set in before sowing. When 
sowing be careful to roll the drills, or in some way "firm" the soil round the 
seed. Four pounds of seed will sow an acre. 
(For postage, add 10c. per lb., Sc. per }4 lb.).

RAPE 
-Fr. NAVETTE 
BROAD LEAVED ESSEX 
Rape is of easy culture, and can be either sown at the rate of 2 pounds per acre, in drills, and cultivated in the 
same way as Turnips, or may be sown broadcast (but only when the land is clean), at the rate of 5 pounds 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 will fatten lambs in the fall so well and so cheaply as Rape 
will. Lb. 25c.; in lots of 10 lbs. 22c. per lb.; 25 lbs. 20c. per lb.
