BEETS 
(SiotEie Dittbe) 
I ounce will sow a row 50 feet; 
5 to 6 pounds to the acre 
In my judgment there is not a better Beet for second-early, main crop, or late 
planting for winter use than this variety. The Beets are globular and verj- 
Schell's New Black Knight. 
smooth; dark red skin and fiesh, deliciously crisp, tender and sweet and do not get woody. The handsome roots 
and small tops make vei-y attractive bunches which means quick sales in market. I advise you to grow it, know- 
ing you will be pleased. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. to cts.. Mlb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 
Long Smooth Blood-Red. The best of all long Beets. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., J^lb. 20 cts., lb. 65 cts. 
Crimson Globe. Medium-size, smooth, rich, dark 
red; tops small; a good Beet for the market-gardener.

flesh; a good second early. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts.,

Surprise. Shaped like a "top." Roots are a good size 
for bunching, smooth, deep red, very tender and 
sweet; makes a very desirable second-early. Pkt. S

Swiss Chard, or Sea Kale. This vegetable, although 
little known in America, is worthy of a place in 
every garden. The leaf and the leaf stems are the 
parts used and they are much superior to those 
of other Beets to use as greens. Later in the season 
the broad, flat, beautiful, wax-like leaf stems are 
cooked as a salad or pickled. Pkt. s cts., oz. 10 cts., 
M'b. 20 cts., lb. 65 cts. 
Sugar Beets 
These are used for the manufacture of sugar Are 
very valuable for stock feeding and for table use. Sow 
six pounds to the acre in May or June in rows 3 feet 
apart, thinning the plants when 3 inches high to 8 to 10 
inches in the rows; cultivate often.

tons per acre. Oz. 5 cts.,

Brussels Sprouts 
Dwarf French Improved. 
The plants grow 2 to 3 feet 
high and produce from the 
sides of the stalk numerous 
little sprouts which resemble 
very small cabbages i or 2 
inches in diameter. The
