Our Lawn Seed is the Very Best Grade 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
CULTURE—Sow in May in the same manner as Cauli¬ 
flower and transplant in July, one foot apart, in the rows 
which should be one and one-half feet apart. In gardens, both 
large and small, Brussels Sprouts are, without exception, the 
very best winter vegetable that can be grown. The real sprout 
is not much larger than a marble, and as firm and hard almost 
as the stalk itself. These are the sort which cooks prefer. 
They strip off the outer covering, cook them whole, and serve 
them up artistically in that fashion. When cooked through 
and no more, such Sprouts melt in the mouth like the tender- 
est Cauliflower, and are equally as good. (Postage paid on 
these.) 
This is one of the best vegetables for winter use, produc¬ 
ing from the axils of the leaves an abundance of sprouts re¬ 
sembling small cabbages; an excellent, mild flavor. It is a 
delicacy much esteemed in Europe. Sow in seed-bed middle 
of spring and transplant and manage as winter cabbage.

BEETS 
CULTURE—Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked and every two weeks after 
for a succession up to the first week of July. For general crop sow about the middle of May. The 
soil should be slight sandy loam, well enriched with 
stable manure and plowed and harrowed until very 
fine. Sow in drills one foot to fifteen inches apart, 
and when well up, thin to from four to six inches. 
The young beets pulled out of the rows are excellent 
used as greens. 
EARLY BLOOD RED TUR¬ 
NIP—Here we hav/ei the old 
stand-by, the turnip beet with 
its dark red color, well known 
to so many homesteads. It is 
useless to occupy space in des¬ 
cribing it, suffice to say, it is 
the best variety for family use. 
EXTRA EARLY FLAT 
EGYPTIAN—Slightly earlier 
than Crosby’s Egyptian but not 
quite as large. Rich deep red 
with sweet tender flesh, excel¬ 
lent for market or home gar¬ 
den. 
EARLY WONDER— 
Grown extensively by market 
gardners on account of its 
smooth skin and dark red color. 
Roots are almost round with 
very small crown of leaves. 
DETROIT DARK RED—One 
of the best for market and home 
garden. Deep rich red, very 
desirable for canning. Leaves 
dark green, shaded with red. It 
is unsurpassed in quality. For 
general purposes we recommend 
this as the best beet for the 
home garden. 
One ounce will sow 60 feet of drill; six to eight pounds for one acre 
in drills. Ready for table use in 40 to 60 days.

CULTURE—As all Mangels require a deep soil in order to grow well, plow and sub-soil at 
least a foot to 18 inches and apply plenty rich stable manure. Sow in May or June, in rows eigh¬ 
teen inches to two feet apart, and thin to eighteen inches in rows. 
GOLDEN TANKARD MANGEL—Shape, cylindrical ; color 
deep, rich yellow ; flesh yellow, circled with white. Unequalled 
for feeding stock. It is an enormous cropper. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED—A particularly fine stock of 
Mangel. The roots attain enormous size, smooth and regular 
in shape. It grows well above ground and is easily pulled. 
The best variety for deep loose soil. 
NEW MANGEL BEET SLUDSTRUP—It is the largest 
producer of any of the mangels, often yielding 60 tons to the 
acre. It grows largely above the ground and is very easy to 
harvest. Color, a golden yellow. In nutrition it surpasses 
all others and is the best keeper on the list. TRY IT.
