Beets 
Swiss Chard 
SWISS CHARD—This kind of beet is grown exclusively for the numerous fleshy, tender leaves 
and leaf stalks, which are superior to those of other beets for use as greens. Later in the season 
the wax-like leaf stems are cooked like asparagus. This variety we offer has large, broad, undulated 
leaves of attractive yellowish green color, and very large, broad white stalks and midribs or chards. 
It is well worthy of a place in the home garden as well as for 
market use. Swiss Chard is sometimes called Leaf Beet, Spinach 
Beet and Silver Beet. Oz., 10c; V4 lb., 20c; Vis lb., 35c; lb., 60c; 2 
lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
Broccoli 
This is a vegetable that is very closely related to the cauliflower, 
but very much hardier; it grows larger and withstands more ex¬ 
tremes of temperature than the cauliflower. 
CAPE BROCCOLI—The heads of this variety are white, compact, 
hard and of an excellent quality, being the best quality for our 
section. Pkt., 15c; V& oz., 35c; oz., 60c, postpaid. 
Collards 
GEORGIA—A strong growing variety with light green leaves and 
when well grown produces a loosely folded cluster of leaves at the

mends it very highly, coming, as it does, two or three weeks earlier than 
the pole varieties. It is of rather small size, but its superior quality and 
tenderness compensate fully for it. It is enormously productive, bearing 
continually throughout the summer and late into the fall. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb.,

BEETS FOR STOCK FEEDING 
We highly recommend the planting of Mangel-Wurzels and Sugar Beets 
to the cattle breeder and dairy farmer. They are a palatable, nutritious, 
and easily digested food which stimulates the flow of high-grade milk ; they 
also serve as an admirable soil-cleanser. The yield per acre is very' high. 
Sugar Beets 
6 lbs. per acre.
