From the smallnese of the tops of the Egyptian at least 
one-fourth more can be grown on the same space than 
any other variety. 
Extra Early or Bassano. Turnip-shaped. An 
improved early Kind, small top, round root, sweet and 
tender, attain a very large size. 
Bastian’s Half-Long Blood. Of bright color and 
excellent quality} a valuable variety to follow the early 
sorts. For winter use plant about the middle of July. 
-(For Field Culture.) 
Four to six pounds to the acre. Extensively cultivated in all parts of the country as a field crop for feeding 
stock in the winter. When grown for this purpose, the distance between the rows should be from two to two and a 
half feet so that the cultivation can be done with horse tools instead of with hand-hoes. 
Norbiton Giant. One of the finest quality in cultivation; grows to an enormous size. „ , , „ 
Golden Tankard Mangel. This is a distinct and superior strain of the Yellow or Golden fleshed Mangel, 
being much liner and firmer in the flesh, and containing more sugar. On account of its peculiar shape, enormous crops 
are grown when the plants are set out closer in the rows than in ordinary Mangel crops, it having yielded upwards of 
seventy-five tons per acre. 
Edmund’s Improved Blood Turnip. Ot hand- 
some turnip shape, skin deep blood-red, flesh also very 
dark, and exceedingly sweet and tender in quaiity; roots 
grow regularly of good marketable size, with a very 
small top and having but a single tap root, which allows 
their being grown very near together. They mature early 
and have given the best satisfaction as a bunch variety 
for market. , . ^ 
Egyptian Turnip. A standard sort, being from 
ten to twelve days earlier than the Blood Turnip. The 
roots are large in size, and of a rich, deep crimson color. 
Mangel Wurtzel.- 
Eed Globe Mangel. 
Yellow Ovoid. 
Imperial bugar. 
Long Bed Mangel. 
Orange Globe Mangel. 
Golden Tankard Mangel 
Yellow Ovoid. A very nutritious and valuable variety; bulb ovoid; intermediate between the long and globe 
varieties; flesh solid, vigorous and productive u n •• 
Red Globe Mangel. A large red oval variety, which keeps well, and produces better crops on shallow soil 
than the Long Ked. . 
Orange Globe Mangel. The same as the above, only differing in color. . ..i ,, 
Mammoth Long Red. Grown extensively for agricultural purposes, producing large roots partly above 
the ground. ... . , . , 1,1 
White Sugar Beet. The large amount of saccharine matter contained in this variety makes it very valuable 
for stock feeding purposes; grows to a large size. 
Cabbage. 
One ounce for about 2,000 plants. 
Cabbages require a deep rich soil and thorough working. The seed for the early crops can be so^ in hot bods. 
When of size to transplant, place the earlier kinds from 12 to 18 inches apart. The largest and later kinds J f eet or 
more. The plants should be set down to first leaf, so that the stem is all below the surlaoe of the ground, and hoe 
otlen. Our seed is from the finest and purest selected strains of American growth. 
We would advise all those who wish Cabbage Seed to order early, as there is a shortage in the crop this season 
ftD<l prices will rule high as soon as sowing begins. 
Express.— This valuable variety which was first in- 
troduced three years ago, is all that was claimed for it by 
the introducers. Eicels in earlinesa all the sorts we 
have g> own and has the shape of the Etampe cabbage, 
but is smaller and eight to ten days earlier; has few out- 
side leaves and thereiore may be planted very close. It 
makes a large, hard bead, of very handsome appearance; 
cooking qualities are excellent. 
Extra Early Etampo. A splendid early sort pro- 
ducing medium sized, conical shaped beads of the finest 
quality. Grows very quickly and is a most desirable sort 
either for private use or market gardeners.
