BEETS—Continued 
Half Long Blood or Bastian Half Long—70 Days 
Fine color outside. Excellent color when cut. Tops 
purple and green in about equal proportion. Very 
desirable for a late beet and one of the best pro¬ 
ducing. A handsome, tapering, wedge-shaped root, 
growing well under the ground. Season much earlier 
in maturity than other long beets. 
LANDRETHS’ BEST—50 Days 
About 5 days earlier than Detroit, more ball-shaped, 
and altogether a superior sort. Slimmer tap roots 
and more mouse-tailed. Roots vary from deep 
globe to round. Flesh deep red of excellent sugary 
quality. Skin smooth and free from fibers. All 
gardeners will find this beet of fully double the usual 
value if they are pulled and served on the table when 
so small as to be no larger than a silver half dollar. 
The Landreths’ Best is very choice for early use, 
having an intensely red color and delicate texture 
and flavor. 
LANDRETHS’ EARLY BLOOD RED TURNIP 
—55 Days 
In this particular beet you have one of the old 
standbys. Very hard to equal. Top-shaped, early 
in maturity and one of our best sellers. Very 
desirable in every respect. Skin deep red and very 
smooth. When cut it proves itself to be one of the 
best red Turnip Beets on the market. 
Long Blood Red—80 Days 
Resists drought better than any other variety of 
Beet. Color, deep red; flesh, very sweet; roots 
deeply.

SUGAR BEETS 
Giant Feeding Half Rose Sugar—90 Days 
This beet is extremely desirable for cattle—of high 
nutritive value. The flesh is white, and very sugary. 
Klein-Wanzleben—90 Days 
Beet sugar manufacturers have united in recom¬ 
mending this as possessing the highest sugar pro¬ 
ducing qualities, as much as 18 tons of sugar having 
been made from 100 tons of root of this variety. We 
highly recommend it also for feeding.

Lucullus Swiss Chard 
SWISS CHARD 
Large Ribbed (Dark Green)—60 Days 
Greens for boiling are always acceptable. Spinach 
cannot always be had and often is tough and stringy. 
The Chard, on the other hand, is in season from early 
Spring to Autumn frost, and will be found a most 
agreeable dish. One of the best vegetables, the 
green foliage used like Spinach, the thick-leaved 
stem cooked like Celery. The roots of this plant 
are not good for edible purposes. The cultivation 
of this is the same as that of Beets. 
Lucullus—60 Days 
Stalks pure white and thick as Rhubarb. Foliage 
yellowish green and crumpled like Bloomsdale 
Spinach or Savoy Cabbage. Very choice. Growing 
in popularity every day. The tops cook like Spinach 
and the stems like Celery. 
MANGEL WURZELS FOR CATTLE 
Golden Tankard—100 Days 
A rapidly maturing root adapted to shallow lands, 
although doing well on every soil. The root has 
broad shoulders, rich golden skin, solid sugary flesh 
and golden footstalk. The flesh is yellow zoned 
with white. 
Mammoth Long Red—110 Days 
In England, 80 tons have been grown to the acre. 
Everywhere the most popular variety for cattle 
feeding. Roots grow half above ground, very large, 
long, well formed, usually straight, flesh-white 
tinged with rose. We cannot recommend this beet 
too highly to dairymen. 
Yellow Globe—90 Days 
Roots mostly on top of the ground, 8 inches in 
diameter, skin golden, flesh white.
