Desirable not only for the manufacture of sugar, but are invaluable for stock 
feedi ng and when small may be used for the table. The best soil is a rich, friable saudy, 
or clayev loam. Rich, mucky soils will often give an immense yield of roots which, 
though excellent for feed, are of little value for sugar making. Plant in drills two to 
two and one-half feet apart, twelve to twenty seeds to the foot. The seed should be 
well covered with about one to one and one-half inches of soil pressed tirmly over it. 
Cultivate frequently. When about three inches high thin to about ten inches apart. 
FOR STOCK FEEDING 
Giant Feeding Sugar Beet, strain 
or Half Sugar Mangel °* r y\\esi* 
able for stock feeding, affording not only 
a very large crop much easier to harvest 
than other sorts but also having higher 
nutritive value, being especially rich in 
sugar. Roots light bronze green above 
ground, grayish white below, with white 
flesh. On account of growing partly out 
of the ground and the long ovoid shape 
the crop can be harvested and stored easily 
and at less expense than any other root 
crop. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

FOR SUGAR MAKING 
j xr» . » Unquestionably the most highlv developed strain of beet 
Jaenscn S V ICtriX for sugar making. Roots of medium size, white with tinge 
of gray, half long, and very uniform in type. Flesh white, exceptionally rich m 
sugar content. Per Lb. 65c, postpaid. Lots of 5 Lbs. to 25 Lbs. by express, at 
purchaser’s expense, 50c per Lb. 
xr»i • 9 i i One of the 
Vllmorin s Improved richest in 
sugar content of the sorts in cultivation. 
It will do better on new lands than any 
other, suffers less from an excess of 
nitrogen and will keep the best. Tops of 
medium size, with smooth, bright green 
leaves. Roots of medium size, similar 
in appearance to Jaensch’s Victrix; tlesh 
white, often yielding from ten to sixteen 
tons per acre. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; 
y 4 Lb. 20c; Lb. 65c. 
yi • \\t i Roots a little 
ISJem Wanzleben larger than 
Vilmorin’s Improved and a little hardier 
and easier grown. Tops rather large; 
leaves slightly waved. Yields from twelve 
to eighteen tons per acre. Probably the 
best sort for the experimenter to use.

BROCCOLI 
rather moist. 
The heads resemble somewhat a coarse cauliflower and the culture is the same in all essentials as 
for that vegetable. Broccoli is well adapted only to those sections where the season is long, cool and 
One of the most valuable features is that it withstands greater extremes of temperature than cauliflower. 
Early Large White French 
Vi Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.50 
This is probably the most useful variety. Plants very hardy, vigorous and easily grown. 
Heads white, compact, hard and of good quality. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 35c; 2 Oz. 60c; 
RR I JSSF I s SPR FIT ITS This vegetable is used in the fall and early winter and hy some considered more 
.i—ii— ii_s kjm. i v w w i kj tender and delicious than any cabbage. The plant resembles the cabbage, the 
edible part being the numerous very small heads or sprouts an inch or two in diameter formed on the sia'k at each lent joint. 
Culture is the same in all essentials as for cabbage, except the leaves should be broken down in the fall to give the little 
heads more room to grow.
