BEETS 
Detroit Dark Red* 
This well known variety is very 
popular among market gardeners 
and canners as well as being an 
ideal variety for the home gar¬ 
den. The roots are very dark red 
in color, uniform in shape and of 
excellent quality. The tops are 
medium in size. It is well adapt¬ 
ed for bunching and marketing 
in baskets; one of the best for 
winter storage. 
Edmand’s Blood Turnip 
A fine appearing turnip-shaped 
blood beet. Skin and flesh are of 
a deep red. This beet grows uni¬ 
form of good marketable size and 
is a good keeper. This variety is 
of the second early maturing crop, also popular with 
gardeners. 
Detroit Dark 
Red Beet 
CULTURE. Any well prepared light garden soil will 
produce good beets, although a rich, sandy loam brings 
the best results. Sow the seed about 1 inch deep in rows 
15 to 24 inches apart. When plants are about 6 inches 
high they should be thinned to 3 or 4 plants to the foot. 
Those taken out at this time make excellent greens. A 
liberal application of 6-15-9 or any other high grade 
commercial fertilizer should be used. Broadcasting 300 
to 500 pounds per acre before seeding, is recommended. 
For small gardens, use 4 to 5 lbs. to every 100 square feet. 
Gould’s Early Bunching Beets 
Gould’s Early Bunching Beet* 
The earliest beet on the market. It can stand the severe 
changes of the weather when sown in hotbeds better 
than any beet ever offered, besides having a perfect 
shape and color for an early bunching beet. 
Crimson Globe 
A late or main crop variety of medium size ana of a per¬ 
fect globe shape. Flesh is a deep purple. The foliage 
is small and a dark bronze color. 
Early Wonder* 
An extra early variety of special merit, being one of the 
first on the market. It is globular in shape, has a smooth 
skin, flesh is blood red and very tender. 
Gould’s Reliable Red Beet* 
Is especially selected for its uniformity in size, shape 
and color, being a very dark red. We do not hesitate to 
recommend it either for market or home garden. It 
grows to a large size and is unsurpassed as to quality. 
N. K. & Co’s Sterling* 
A very attractive variety of high quality. It is a heavy 
yielder, a good keeper and of very fine appearance. Is 
exceedingly sweet and tender for table use. 
Crosby’s Egyptian* 
A splendid extra early beet of slightly flattened globe 
shape. It is sweet and tender and a much desired table 
beet. It is grown and recommended by market gardeners 
for easy bunching. One of the earliest and best strains 
of beets. 
The vegetables best suited for market are indicated by 
a star (*) after the name of the variety. 
See Page 6 for Mangel Beets. 
Extra Early Egyptian 
One of the very earliest small top varieties. Roots are 
decidedly flat with a dark skin. Flesh is purplish zoned 
to a lighter shade. 
Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet 
This variety 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. Cook leaves like spinach. 
Giant Lucullus Swiss Chard 
The largest and the favorite of the Chard family. The 
leaves are very large and curly and make a very attrac¬ 
tive dish when cooked up as greens. As it grows up so 
quickly it is also very valuable for keeping the poultry 
supplied with a green feed. Leaves may be trimmed to 
the ground and new leaves grow quickly. 
SUGAR BEETS 
Gould's Reliable Sugar Beet 
We consider this to be one of the very best sugar beets 
for sugar production. Is rich in sugar content. 
Market Gardeners and Florists. 
We do not issue a separate Market Gardeners catalog 
and price list, but you will note that we list larger 
amounts than the small gardener buys, and these 
quantity prices are intended for the market gardener. 
Special flower seed price list for florists will be sent on 
request.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Perfection 
Small heads or sprouts about one to two inches fn diam¬ 
eter form on the stocks at each leaf joint. These may 
be boiled or creamed like cabbage or cauliflower and 
make a very delicious dish. 
BROCCOLI 
Broccoli is somewhat like cauliflower in appearance and 
is cooked and served the same way, but combines the 
flavor of cauliflower and celery. Is most delicious. Try 
some in your garden this year. 
CULTURE. For early crop, start the seed indoors or 
in cold frame and transplant seedlings in the open after 
danger of frost is over. For late crop, seed in the open 
ground during the early summer months. 
Early Green Sprouting Calabrese 
This variety grows about two feet high and of very easy 
culture. Is branching in character, and each branch ter¬ 
minates in a green sprout. When each branch is a mass 
of flower buds, and before flowers appear, they are ready 
to use.
