MANGEL AND SUGAR BEETS FOR STOCK FEED. 
Every year sees a steady increase in the number of farmers in the South who plant, at least, a small 
crop of Mangel and Sugar beets for stock feeding purposes. It is impossible to find crops that will give 
greater returns for the small amount of time and fertilizer spent on them than the Mangel, Sugar beets 
and Belgian carrots. All are immense yielders under good cultivation and make an agreeable change of 
feed for any animal kept on dry forage in winter. With dairy cattle the increased flow of milk and gen- 
erally improved condition of the animals in the spring show the gi'eat value of these crops. Plow the 
ground deeply then harrow well until smooth. Sow seed in this latitude early in the spring, rows 2i/2 to 
3 feet apart and let grow all season. Use a naturally rich, deep soil or else fertilize heavily to get best 
results. Both Mangel and Sugar beets are enuallv valuable f r stock feeding. Plant 8 pounds of seed 
.per acre. Where their value is known almost every farmer plants from 1 to 10 pounds of seed each year.

PUPP pi QFFDS believe in plenty of flowers. We have them in abun-

every farm home in the South has its flower beds. To encourage this we are again giving away abso- 
lutely free 6 packets of flower seed as a premium with every order from this catalogue to the amount 
of 50 cents or over. See this superb offer illustrated in colors on the s.econd cover page. 
to cauliflower from 
which it is supposed to have ccnie. 
Culture, the same as for cauliflower and* in the Southern 
States is a much surer header. For those who are deterred 
from growing cauliflower on account of high price of seed 
we recommend a trial of Broccoli as the two vegetables 
are very similar White Cape and Purple Cape both do 
well in the South, the onlv difference being in the color of 
the heads. WHITE C.^PE— Packet, 10 cents; Va ounce, 15 
cents; ounce, 25 cents; % pound, 75 cents. PURPLE CAPE 
prices same. 
IFI Rlil/FR Should only be planted in the 
LI 1 Lw ww .South in very rich, or well- 
manured soil. In the spring it should be planted in this 
latitude very early and really does better planted in June 
and July for maturity during the fall months. Sow in seed 
beds in the same manner as cabbage. Transplant when 4 
to 5 inches high and give an abundance of water in dry 
weather. Soil should be kept moist and cultivated thor- 
oughly a’^d often. In Florida and along the Gulf Coast 
sow seed in September, October and November. In earlv 
spring or late fall one ounce of seed will make 2,000 to 2.500 
plants. For warm weather sowdngs double that nuanlity 
of seed would be renuired. Early varieties of Gilt Edge 
and Snow Ball mature in about 110 days. Late varieties 
in 140 to 150 days.

Jumbo Mangel 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS P^Shly esteemed plant of the cab- 
■mww IB bage family; well adapted for the 
South. “Sprouts” are miniature cabbages, growing closely on the stalk of 
the plant, a small head about 1 inch in uiameter being formed at the base of 
each leaf. Is hardy and lives through the winter in most parts of the South. 
Quality and flavor much improved by frost. Sow seed early in July or 
August and transplant to open ground when about 6 inches high. A most 
desirable vegetable and should be cultivated exactly the same as cabbage.
