RELIABLE SEEDS 
MANGEL-WURZEL 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Six pounds will sow an acre 
Mangel-Wurzels are invaluable for feeding stock. In 
May or June sow the seed in drills not less than 2 feet 
apart and later thin out so the plants stand from 6 to 8 
inches apart in the row. As they grow to an immense 
size, a deep soil that has been well enriched with stable 
manure is best suited for their culture. 
A standard sort yielding 
|_ an enormous quantity of 
long, thick, straight roots, having light red-colored 
flesh. It is prized for feeding stock during the winter 
and is undoubtedly the most largely grown of all

For early fall use sow seed outdoors in May and during 
July set plants every 18 inches in rows 2 feet apart. Later 
sowings may be made in June. The sprouts are far supe¬ 
rior in flavor to either cabbage or kale, especially after a 
hard frost, and from June sowings will be ready for use 
during the early part of October. Between one and two 
quarts is the average yield of one plant.

meats and vegetables. Seed may be sown early in spring, 
but when the plants are quite large they should be trans¬ 
planted about 10 inches apart.

One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill 
The leaves have a cucumber-like 
odor, and are used as a salad. Sow 
the seed in drills 1 foot apart from 
April until August and when well ad¬

row. As it soon runs to seed, make 
sowings every two weeks for a suc¬

The seed may be sown in drills 1 foot apart as early in the spring 
as the ground can be worked. When the plants are 3 to 4 inches 
high they should be thinned out so that they stand 5 inches apart. 
When grown in the home-garden 
Chicory should be blanched similar to 
celery. It is grown differently by mar¬ 
ket-gardeners who sow the seed in 
August for use the following spring 
when the leaves are cut off and bunched 
in the green state.

Italian Green Sprouting. A very 
useful variety adapted for growing 
in spring, summer, or fall, resem¬ 
bling cauliflower only in shape or 
formation, as the color is dull bluish 
green. For early use, seed may be 
sown in hotbeds during March and 
later transplanted outdoors in rows 
2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in 
the row. After the central head is 
cut, the plant produces many 
branches, each terminating in small¬ 
er heads which are equally as de¬ 
sirable as the larger head. Served 
in the same way as asparagus, they 
form a very tasty and nourishing 
■ dish. Considered by some to be 
superior to cauliflower in quality.
