Swiss Chard or Spinach 
Beet 
The best results ate obtained on a deep, 
rich sandy loam. Sow seed 1 inch deep, in 
drills 16 inches apart, as early as possible. 
If wanted very early, sow Detroit Dark Red 
and Crosby’s Egyptian in hotbeds and trans¬ 
plant to open ground. Thin to stand 3 to 
4 inches apart. Cultivate cleanly and thor¬ 
oughly. For succession, sow at intervals 
until middle of July. 
Crosby’s Egyptian, Hart & Vick Strain. Our 
special strain of this popular variety is 
better in many respects than the old one. 
It is globular, perfectly smooth, with short 
top, small tap-root, and both skin and 
flesh dark in color. Much earlier than all 
other dark-fleshed varieties. That it is the 
very best early Beet for home- or market- 
gardens is amply proved by the many 
favorable comments that come to us. Pkg.

The most popular and best table and can¬ 
ning Beet grown. As a second-early variety, 
we recommend it for the home- and market- 
garden. Our special strain is more uniform in 
shape and color than the old Detroit Dark 
Red. The tops and tap-roots are small and 
the leaves dark green, shaded red. Beets are 
round, smooth, and very dark red in skin and 
flesh. In tenderness and sweetness they are 
unsurpassed. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 45c;

riety, plant this Beet. The tops are medium

Mangels and Sugar Beets 
Golden Giant Mangel 
Crosby’s Egyptian Beets 
No crops are more valuable for feeding 
cattle and sheep than Mangels and Sugar 
Beets. In these last few years it is hard to 
find a dairyman who does not feed them. The 
average yield is 45 tons to the acre. They are 
easily harvested, not a particle of waste to 
them, and may be stored in pit and root 
cellar with little trouble. Sow 8 pounds to 
the acre in May or June, in drills 2 feet 
apart, and thin to 10 inches in the row. 
Golden Giant or Sludstrup. Dairymen claim 
this is the greatest yielder of all. Giants 
in size, not as long as Long Red, but

ground. Skin yellow, flesh white and solid. 
A fine kind for shallow soils. Oz. 10c; 
M lb. 25c; lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.65. 
It pays many times over to be very liberal 
with applications of Peat Moss, fertilizer, and 
water. A good small garden is better than a 
poor large one.

sugar and is more valuable for feeding 
than any other. Large, oval; grow half

ing as greens. Pkg. 10c; oz. 30c; 34 lb. 90c.
