Dark Green 
Swiss Chard 
BVflangel Wurzels 
Plow deep for this crop and in 
May or June plant six mangel seed 
to the foot in two or three foot rows, 
later thinning to a nine inch stand. 
One ounce sows one hundred feet 
of row and six pounds an acre. When 
a light frost has occurred, lift the 
roots and store in pits or cellars. 
Leonard’s Improved Mammoth 
Lons' Red. The largest and most 
productive Mangel. Roots 5 inches 
thick, 15 inches long, tapering to a 
point. Grows half above the ground; 
color light red. Pkt., 10c; *4 lb., 
20c. 
Golden Tankard. Shape cylindrical, color deep rich 
yellow, flesh yellow circled with white. Unequalled 
for feeding stock. Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 20c. 
Sugar Beets 
Mangel Wurzels. 
Leonard’s Improved Dark Red. 
In growing, the sugar beet is treated like the 
mangel except that only six or eight inches of space 
is given each beet in the row. 
Lane's Imperial Sugar. Good for making sugar, also stock feeding. A hardy and 
productive sort. Pkt., 10c; M lb., 20c. 
Vilmorin's Improved Sugar. The most desirable beet for the factory, containing 
the largest percentage of sugar. Pkt., 10c; M lb., 20c. 
Klein Wantzleben. Larger than Vilmorin’s Improved, yielding from 12 to 18 tons 
per acre and containing about the same amount of sugar. Roots 8 inches, wedge 
shaped, tapering to a point. Pkt., 10c; M lb., 20c. 
Giant Rose Half Sugar. This unites the large size of the mangel with the greater 
feeding value of the sugar beet. The roots average 10 to 12 inches and the out' 
line is that of a broad, thick wedge. The upper portion is of a soft bright pink, shad' 
ing lighter toward the bottom where the lower portion for about one'third the 
length is white. Pkt., 10c; M lb., 20c. 
Detroit 
Dark Red. 
BEETS for the Table—Continued. 
Detroit Dark Red. Long experience has shown this variety to be the 
best deep Red Turnip Beet not only for market gardeners but for home 
use. It is also one of the best for canning, making a strikingly hand' 
some product, much superior to that obtained from other varieties. 
Tops small, upright growing so that the rows may be close together; 
leaf stems and veins dark red, blade green; roots very crisp; tender 
and sweet and remaining so for a long time. We believe 
that our stock of this variety will produce a crop more 
uniform in shape, color and quality than any other. Ready 
for use in 50 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; M lb., 30c. 
Good for All. 52 to 55 days. An excellent variety developed from 
Detroit Dark Red. Especially fine for canning and pickling whole at 
1!4 to U/2 inches in diameter. Roots smooth, even in size and shape 
and almost globular; collar and tap-roots very small; interior deep 
crimson; free from white zones. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 40c. 
Swiss Chard 
Silver. This robust growing variety is often referred to as the Spinach 
Beet and is grown for its leaf, not for its root. The thick rib may be 
stripped from the leaf and used as asparagus, while the rest of the leaf 
is served as “greens”. Ready for use in 55 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
14 lb., 25c. 
Lucullus. An improved type of Chard. Of more upright growth than 
the Silver variety; leaves yellowish green, much crumpled and curled, 
mid-rib and veins white, stalks thick, broad and flat and as large as 
rhubarb. Ready for market in 55 days. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 25c. 
Lark Green. Color very dark green, leaves 
fleshy, thick, tender, not as crumpled as Lucul¬ 
lus but with a very broad white mid-rib. Ready 
in 55 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 25c.
