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 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. 
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. 
Detroit Darl< 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. 
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. 
Crimson Globe 
A late or main crop variety of medium size and of a per¬ 
fect globe shape. Flesh is a deep purple. The foliage 
is small and a dark bronze color. 
Detroit Dark 
Xted Beet 
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. 
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. 
The vegetable* best united for market are indicated by 
a star (*) after the name of the variety.

MANGEL-BEETS Feeding) 
CULTURE. Sow six pounds to the acre in rows three 
feet apart, and thin to nine inches in the row. Seed 
should not be sown until the ground is warm and the 
weather fully settled. 
Shallow planting is desirable because the seed germi¬ 
nates more quickly and a larger proportion will make 
vigorous plants than when planted deeply. Deeper 
planting will be required on sand lands or when the 
soil is dry. Cultivation should begin within a day or 
two from planting. Mangels so aid digestion and as¬ 
similation, by keeping the animals in a healthy condi¬ 
tion, that they increase the feeding value of other feeds 
consumed besides the nutrients the roots contain. Man¬ 
gels, when fed to cows, materially increase the flow ot 
milk. 
Improved Mammoth 
Long Red Mangel 
Imp. Mammoth Long Red 
Is a selection of the very best 
type of long red mangel. The 
roots are extra large, straight, 
uniform in size and of a deep red 
color. They grow very large, 
some weighing as much as 15 to 
20 pounds apiece, and yielding 
15 to 20 tons to the acre. Our 
Mammoth Long Red is the best 
Mangel for poultry feeding. 
Giant Red Eckendorf 
The roots are red in color, 
smooth, long and cylinder shap¬ 
ed. They grow to enormous 
size, weighing up to 15 and 20 
pounds each. The flesh is firm 
and of high feeding quality. 
Giant Yellow Eckendorf 
Is very similar to the Red Eck¬ 
endorf, excepting that the color 
is yellow. A fine variety. 
Golden Tankard 
It combines all the fine points 
possible to condense into a man¬ 
gel. The skin is a deep rich yel¬ 
low, flesh firm and solid and of a 
rich golden yellow color. 
Mammoth Golden Giant 
Grows very large, yet it has a 
very fine, even shape and smooth 
skin. Flesh is white, firm and 
sweet. Cattle are very fond of 
them. In spite of the size they 
are easily lifted from the ground. 
Grow enormous crops. 
Gould's Reliable Sludstrup Barres 
Has been recognized by the Danish Government as hav¬ 
ing the largest per cent of nutriment found in any sort. 
It is of a reddish yellow color, is very hardy and grows 
well above ground, making it easy to pull. 
Giant Feeding Half Sugar 
Is a very large growing sugar beet. A heavy yielder, 
an excellent feeder, but is not fit for sugar production. 
Yields nearly as heavy as do other mangels, but supplies 
for stock feeding a food of very much higher nutritive 
value. A most excellent feed for stock and poultry.
