STOCK BEETS 
If ordered 1»y mnil, add 10 ds. per pound for 
piONtuge. 
Cultivated extensively for stock. Farmers and 
dairymen should not fail to plant a few acres 
of these valuable root crops either for their 
milch cows or fat stock. Select a deep, rich 
loam and manure well. Sow any time from the 
middle of November until April, in drills 2*4 to 
3 feet apart, and thin to 12 inches in the row. 
The long varieties prefer a light, sandy loam. 
The round varieties are best for planting on 
stiff soil. Sow 6 pounds to the acre. 
(■ixiiit Half Sugar Rose Mangel. A distinct type 
of licet, producing roots of enormous size of 
the highest feeding value. It is a cross be¬ 
tween a mangel and sugar beet; olive shaped. 
Stands three-fourths out of the ground and is 
easily harvested; has yielded over fifty tons 
per acre. The flesh is white, solid and very 
sweet and gives a rich, pleasant flavor to 
dairy products when fed to milch cows. This 
is the heaviest cropping beet known and the 
most profitable to grow, all points considered, 
that we have ever tried. Lb. 30 cts., 10 lbs. $2.

CABBAGE 
Repcllo Kopfkohl Chou Pomrne 
The cabbage seed we offer is strictly first- 
class, none better, and our sales are increasing 
annually; we would especially call the attention 
of our patrons to our superb strain of Wlnnig- 
Ntadt, the leading variety grown in this section. 
Growers are alive to the fact that quality in 
cabbage seed is of the utmost importance, as 
no satisfactory results can possibly be obtained 
when poor seed is planted. 
Commence to sow the seed of the early vari¬ 
eties in August and each month following, until 
spring, for succession. Transplant as soon as 
large enough, to fresh, rich soil, in rows 2 feet 
apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. In 
planting Cabbage or cauliflower, care should be 
observed that the stem is set under ground as 
far as the first leaf. The ground should be well 
■worked to produce good heads, and hoed as 
many as three times during the season, drawing 
the earth slightly about the stems. One ounce- 
will produce 2,000 plants. 
Early Wlnnlgstndt. One of the best varieties
