FOUR BEST SUGAR 
BEETS. 
Improved Kleinwanzlebener. 
(See cut.) This is a Large growing varietv that is 
highly recommended in the Sugar Beet sections 
for its certainty of yielding a good crop even under 
adverse circumstances. It has, as shown in our 
illustration, a conical shaped root, large at the toP 
.and tapering almost to a point at the lower end. An 
e I ir average of 18 to 20 tons to the acre c.in be counted on 
sately, It the soil is rich. About 15 per cent of sunar can be obtained 
from our Improved Kleinwanzlebener with ordinary field culture.

ImOerial Sue^ar Reet a long variety that is probaWy 
* l-»CCL. more largely grown than any 
other Sugar Beet for feeding to stock. It will yield as much as 
Mangels and contains a large per cent of su.gar. Reported to have 
given a yield of over ,^0 tons per acre, the cultural cort of which was 
only 5 cents a bushel. E.xtcnsively grown in all parts of Europe.

Vilmorin's Improved. 
(Sec cut.) This is also recom- 
. . . mended by the Department of 
Agriculture and said to resist unfavorable influence better tlian almost anv 
other variety. It is a heavy yieldcr on all kinds of soil and of the same general 
jiiape 01 our Improved Kleiuwanzletiencr. We heartily recommcndthese two sorts 
for their quality and yield. Pkt. sc, oz. 10c 1-2 lb 25c", lb, 40c.
