SUGAR BEETS FOR STOCK FEEDING 
If ordered by mail, add 10 cts. per pound for 
poNtage. 
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% 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 8 pounds to the acre. 
Giant Half Sugar Rose Mangel. A distinct type 
of beet, 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 ever tried. Lb. 30 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50.

CABBAGE 
Repollo Kopfkohl Chou Pomme. 
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 Winnig- 
stadt, 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 varieties in August 
and each month following, until spring, for succession. Trans¬ 
plant 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. 
HALF DWARF PARIS SPROUTS.
