SWISS CHARD OR SPINACH BEET 
A variety of beet grown exclusively 
for its large, juicy, tender, light col- 
ored leaves and leaf stalks, which are 
much superior to those of other beets 
for use as greens. Swiss Chard is 
also greatly relished by chickens. 
Poultrymen will find this a valuable 
green food for young chicks as well 
as laying hens that are kept constant- 
ly penned up. Lb., 75c; 14 lb., 25c; oz., 
10c; pkg., oc. 
SUGAR BEETS 
For Sugar or for Stock. 
FRENCH WHITE SUGAR. Com- 
bines with good yield, a good per- 
centage of sugar. Not so large as the 
Mangels, but much sweeter. Lb., 
Jl.OO; % lb., 50c; % lb., 35c; oz., 10c; 
pkg., 5c. 
DANISH SLUDSTRUP. New kind 
from Denmark. Highly recommended 
by the Danish Government. Long, 
oval, reddish-yellow. Grows well 
above ground, and easy to pull. After 
growing them for five years, we find 
the Sludstrup to be very productive, 
large, smooth, uniform shape, and 
very sweet and solid, and of high 
nutritious value. They much resem- 
ble the Giant Yellow or Gate Post, but 
are sweeter, containing more sugar. 
Our seed is from the originator in 
Denmark. Price, lb., 75c; % lb., 40c; 
Vi lb., 25c; oz., 10c. 
Owing to the extremely small sup- 
ply and the prevailing high prices we 
are unable to offer this standard va- 
riety at the regular price. Orders 
flHed as long as supply lasts.
