MANGEL BEETS 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—1 
oz. to 100 ft. row; 1 acre re¬ 
quires 5 lbs. 
Mangels thrive best in a rich 
deep loam. Sow when the ground 
is warm and not too early in the 
spring. Mangels grow partly 
above ground and may be dam¬ 
aged by frost. Corn planting 
time is about right for sowing 
mangels. Sow in rows 3 ft. apart 
and iy 2 inches deep and leave 
the plants standing 8 inches 
apart in the row. Cultivate often 
to retain moisture.

straight and well formed. The 
flesh is white, tinged with rose.

ture is enormously productive; 
very fine for stock feeding. A 
great favorite with farmers and 
dairymen.

with leaf stalks and veins dis¬ 
tinctly tinged with yellow. The

or in frames under glass and transplant to the open ground in June. 
Can also be sown in the open ground and trasplanted in rows 2 
feet apart and 15 inches between the plants in the row. A good 
plan is to break the leaves in fall to give the heads more room to 
develop. Set out plants latter part of June for a winter supply.

set with sprouts 1% to 2 inches in diameter.

April 15th. When second leaves appear transplant in rich, light soil. 
Rows two feet apart and one and one-half to two feet between the 
plants. Cultivate to keep the moisture and to keep the plants grow¬ 
ing all the time.

SWISS CHARD OR 
SPINACH BEET 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—1 oz. to 
100 ft. row. 
Swiss Chard requires a rich soil and 
should be planted early. Sow in rows 18 
inches apart, about 1 inch deep and thin 
the plants 4 to 6 inches in the row. 
Swiss Chard does not produce an edible 
root like the regular garden beet, but is 
highly esteemed for the broad, white leaf 
stalks and midribs, which are cooked and 
served in the same manner as asparagus, 
making a most delicious vegetable. The 
leaves are also cooked like spinach and 
considered equally palatable. Two dis¬ 
tinct dishes may thus be grown from one 
plant at the same time. Should be in 
every home garden. 
LUCULLUS —A new variety, stalks as 
thick and broad as rhubarb and leaves 
light green, much crumpled and curled. 
LARGE RIBBED WHITE — Large 
smooth leaves with silvery white stems, 
which are tender and of fine flavor.
