gray. 
Desirable not only for the manufacture of sugar, but are invaluable for stock feed¬ 
ing and when small may be used for the table. The best soil is a rich, friable sandy, or 
clayey 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-lialf feet apart, twelve to twenty seeds to the foot. The seed should be well covered 
with about one to oue and one-half inches of soil pressed firmly over it. Cultivate 
frequently. When about three inches high thin to about ten inches apart. 
FOR SUGAR MAKING 
- , - 7 . . Unquestionably the most highly developed strain of beet for 
Jaensch S V ictrix sugar making. Roots of medium size, white with tinge of 
half long, and very uniform in type. Flesh white, exceptionally rich in sugar 
content. Per Lb. 50c, postpaid. Lots of 
5 Lbs. to 25 Lbs. by express, at pur¬ 
chaser’s expense, 40c per Lb.

sugar content of the sorts in cultivation. 
It will do better on new lauds than any 
other, suffers less from an excess of 
nitrogen and will keep the best. The tops 
are of medium size, with smooth, bright 
green leaves. The roots are of medium 
size, similar in appearance to Jaensch's 
Victrix; llesh white, often yielding from 
ten to sixteen tons per acre. Pkt. 5c;

Long 
ry j A large, long variety grown for stock feeding. The roots are light red, 
KeCl grow well out of the ground and are easily harvested. The flesh is 
white, tinged with rose. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; V 4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c.

L). lVl. retry cfc Go S Improved and well formed and comparatively 
Mammntk T thicker than the common sort. Flesh white tinged with 
lYldiiiiiiuiii i-ung i\cu rose. Under careful culture enormously productive. 
Our stock will produce the largest and finest roots which can be grown for feeding 
stock and is vastly superior to many strains offered under other names, such as 
Norbitan Giant, Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; l A Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c. 
v n • . * The roots of this exceedingly productive sort gr#w about 
X ellow Leviathan one-half out of the ground and very easily harvested. 
In shape they are long fusiform, or spindle shaped tapering from the middle to each 
end. Color light gray tinged with brown above ground, yellow below. !• lesh white, 
sometimes slightly tinged with yellow. Tops green, comparatively small: collar 
small. The roots have less tendency to become woody than most sorts. Pkt. 5c; 
Oz. 10c; 1/4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c. 
^ , 1 T’ 1 j Tops comparatively small: leaf stalks and veins distinctly 
Golden I anRard tinged with yellow, neck small. Roots large, ovoid, but 
bottom usually of larger diameter than top, light gray above ground, deep orange be¬

FOR STOCK FEEDING 
ir 1 • \\t 1 1 Roots a little 
Klein Wanzieben larger than 
Vilmorin’s Improved and a little hardier 
and easier grown. The tops are rather 
large and the leaves slightly waved. Yields 
from twelve to eighteen tons per acre. 
Probably the best sort for the exper- 
imenter to use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; 
V 4 Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c. 
Giant Feeding Sugar Beet strain 
or Half Sugar Mangel 
able for stock feeding, affording not 
only a very large crop much easier to 
harvest than other sqrts 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; V 4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c.

RPfiPrni ¥ The heads resemble somewhat a coarse cauliflower and the culture is the same in all essentials as 
DI\v/Uv/\/LI for that vegetable. Broccoli is well adapted only to those sections where the season is long, cool and 
rather moist. One of the most valuable features is that it withstands greater extremes of temperature than cauliflower.

"DD ¥ TCQ17 I Q CDD TT^l This vegetable is used in the fall and early winter and by some considered more 
DI\G OOILLiO Jl I\v/U 1 O 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 stalk at each leaf joint. 
The 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. . . . , ...... . „ , . ,
