VILMORIN’S IMPROVED SUGAR BEET 
—Roots grow below the surface. Very rich 
in sugar; will yield from ten to sixteen 
tons of roots per acre. 
KLEINE WANSLEBEN —Larger than 
Vilmorin’s; exceedingly rich in sugar, 
hardy and a good yielder. Easy to dig. 
MANGEL WURZEL 
MAMMOTH LONG RED— Enormously 
productive and yields from fifty to seventy 
tons to the acre. The roots grow well 
above the ground and are easily dug. 
GOLDEN TANKARD— The leading yel¬ 
low fleshed variety. Sweet and greedily 
eaten by all kinds of stock. Hardy and a 
good cropper. 
GREAT DANE HALF SUGAR MANGEL 
—This sort has been carefully selected by 
years of experience, as the best variety in 
all respects. It is a cross between one of 
the hardy Mangel Wurzels and a rich sort 
of sugar beet. It not only retains the 
hardy and yielding qualities of the Man¬ 
gels, but contains a high percentage of 
sugar, making a very palatable and nutri¬ 
tious feed. It will easily yield twenty-five 
tons per acre. A splendid sort for cattle 
and poultry feed. 
(1 oz. will produce 4,000 plants) 
CULTURE —Cabbage requires a rich, 
moist, heavy soil, and deep and frequent 
cultivation. For extra early use the seed 
may be sown in the fall during September, 
and young plants protected through the 
winter in cold frames, or sow the seed dur¬ 
ing January or February, very thinly and 
shallow in hot-beds. When the young 
plants have reached sufficient size, grad¬ 
ually harden them off by admitting air 
freely. Transplant to the open ground as 
soon as the ground works up well. Plant 
one by two feet and cultivate every two 
weeks. For late use sow the seed in fine 
soil during May or June. Sow the seed 
very thinly and not over one-fourth inch 
deep. Another easy method is to plant 
five or six seeds in a hill then pull out all 
but the strongest plant. When insects ap¬ 
pear dust with Slug Shot or similar pre¬ 
paration.
