A & M Table Beets 
Farlv Wnnrlpr In size and shape 
n.ariy vv onaer this bee t is very 
similar to Early Crosby. Because of its 
very bright color it has become very pop¬ 
ular and is now one of the best market 
varieties. It is extremely early, of good 
uniform size, a bright red in color and 
with a very small top, which makes it 
most suitable for bunching. (Pkt. 5c)

Culture 
Beets may be planted all the year where the tem¬ 
perature does not linger below 30 degrees. Sow 
the seed one inch deep in well prepared, moist soil in rows 
eight or ten inches apart, or on ridges same as lettuce. Drill 
7 pounds of seed per acre. Thin out to one plant every three 
inches, and transplant the discarded plants in any convenient 
spot about the garden. Irrigate about every two weeks, unless 
the nature of the soil is such that more frequent irrigation is 
found to be necessary. Mulch the soil after each irrigation. 
Beets are very sensitive to acid soil conditions; therefore lime 
is beneficial. Beets are ready for use in ten weeks and con¬ 
tinue in prime condition for another ten 
weeks. For the home garden sow one 
ounce of seed for 100 feet of row. 
Early Blood Turnip J r f 0 J[ s h e 
Flesh very tender and retains its blood- 
red color when cooked. On account of 
its tall leaves it is a favorite summer 
time beet with market gardeners. (Pkt.

red, flat, smooth variety. It is

t^tariy v^ruauy deners who are producing beets for bunch¬

A & M Stock Beets 
May be sown all the year round in drills sixteen inches apart. Thin out to stand one foot apart in rows. Keep 
V-rUIllirc well cultivated; 8 pounds of mangel, or 10 pounds of sugar beet seed will plant an acre and yield several tons 
of beets. For the breeder of hogs, small stock and poultry, we recommend the planting of beets. The Stock Beet is one of the 
finest fat and milk-producing crops we have today, and when fed in conjunction with grain they are worth nearly as much, 
pound for pound, as the grain itself. 
I D 0 J Manual The largest Stock Beet. Yields 40 
L.Ong Ked Mangel to 5 ^ tons to the acre. Will grow 
in land containing more alkali than any other beet. All stock 
except horses eat it readily. (Pkt. 6 c) (lb. 75c) (10 lbs. $7.00)

Golden Tankard Mangel Sd^wafer^han^ny 
other Mangel. Rich in milk-producing qualities, hence a fav¬ 
orite with dairymen. Horses will eat it. (Pkt. 5c) (lb. 75c)

1-falf Qimai* Rneo A distinct type of Sugar Beet, pro- 
Fldll I\Uoc ducing not only a good crop, but 
roots of giant size and richest food quality. It has yielded 
55 tons per acre, several tons per acre more than the 
heaviest producers of other sorts on the list. They have a 
small top, and are easily trimmed. The roots are heavy, but 
are so easily harvested that they may be uprooted by a push 
of the foot. The flesh is white, solid, tender and very sweet and 
imparts a rich, pleasant flavor to dairy products when fed to 
milch cows. Also particularly good for fattening hogs. (Pkt.

Klein Wanzleben nut niiestinn t 
This variety is with¬ 
out question the best in cultivation. 
Not the largest in size, but the richest in saccharine. It will 
fatten hogs as quickly as grain. (Pkt. 5c) (lb. 75c) (10 lbs.

A & M SWISS CHARD 
PiiUnrp Same as for beets; transplant 8 inches apart in 
V/U 11 UIC rows 18 inches apart. 
Grown for its leaves only; one of the best early greens. Cook 
the leaves as you do spinach and the stems in cream as aspara¬ 
gus. Leaves grow to enormous size, 20 inches to 2 feet in 
length. The plant is almost perpetual if kept trimmed, but it 
Is better to have a new crop every year. The tender leaves 
make it a desirable plant for poultry greens; much more de¬ 
sirable than alfalfa, because it can be grown with less care 
and in any convenient place about the premises. Try it for 
your hens. 
I iir>ulluc Used extensively for poultry and is one of the 
LiUCUllUS most popular varieties for this purpose because 
of the tendency to grow to a good height and to produce longer 
leaves and more foliage. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) ('A lb. 35c) (1 lb. 
$1.00) postpaid. 
Best suitable for table use, but 
VV Illlc OWlss LUdru j s also used extensively for poul¬ 
try feed. It has a large white rib, a rather smooth leaf, mak¬ 
ing it easily cleaned for table use. The large midrib is some¬ 
times cooked as you would prepare asparagus. (Pkt. 5c) (oz.
