_ lar in habit and 
growth to the Giant Feeding Sugar Beet except in 
color. The color of the skin above the ground is 
bright rose and white below. The flesh is white, 
sometimes tinged rose.

_ on a larger scale than any

nearly as large a yield as a crop of Mangels, sup¬ 
plies a much higher nutritive food value. The yield 
under favorable conditions is more than any other 
Sugar Beet, compared with its highly nutritive 
value. The roots grow partly out of the ground 
and on account of this, as well as their shape, the 
crops can be harvested and stored at less expense 
than most any other root crop. 
Brussels Sprouts 
Culture.—A species of the Cabbage family which 
produces miniature heads from the sides of the 
stalk. These heads are a great delicacy, boiled in 
the same way as Cauliflower. The seeds should be 
sown about the middle of May, in a seed-bed, and 
the plants afterward set in rows two feet or more 
apart and cultivated like Cabbage. 
Danish Giant. A small-leaved, tall-growing variety 
of this desirable vegetable, and very productive, 
which through careful selection has been brought 
to perfection. Grows freely during the Summer, 
and is fully developed by the early frosts, at which 
time the stems are thickly set with sprouts.
