Futter ruebe (Ger.) 
MANGELS and Sugar Beefs 
Barbabietole (It.) 
6 to 8 pounds of seed will plant an acre. 
NOTE: We cannot supply half-ounces of seed, the 
price of which is less than 30c per ounce. 
A most valuable food for cattle and sheep. Sow the seed in May in rows 234 
feet apart. The mangels are easily harvested and can be stored in a cold cellar or 
in pits where they will keep all winter. 
Danish Yellow Giant Mangels 
The bushel crate in the background shows their size. 
DANISH YELLOW GIANT. (Sludstrup.) High Producing Strain. This 
mangel is considered the standard yellow variety here in the East. Grows to a 
very large size producing extremely large yields of deep yellow colored mangels 
and white flesh. Grows two-thirds above the ground. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 20c; Lb. 55c. 
Giant Yellow Eckendorf. The skin is bright yellow in color and the flesh white. 
The roots are more blunt than Danish Yellow Giant, being nearly the same size 
the whole length. Grows about three-fourths out of the ground, so it is very 
easy to harvest. A heavy cropper. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 14 Lb- 20c; Lb. 55c. 
Golden Tankard. Roots are oval in shape, bright orange outside and the flesh is 
deep yellow all the way through. The mangels are medium large, easily harvested 
and of high food value. The roots are uniform in shape. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 20c; Lb. 55c. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED or Norbiton Giant. One of the largest yielding 
varieties grown. The quality of the roots for feeding is very high. They are 
large, quite long and grow well out of the ground. The color is bright red outside 
and the flesh white with light red zoning. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 20c; Lb. 55c. 
Half-Sugar Mangel. Richest in Sugar. This mangel or giant sugar beet is 
intermediate between the large mangels and the sugar beets. The roots are white 
with pink tops and grow to a large size. They are oval in shape, grow half out of 
the ground, and have small tops. The roots contain a higher percentage of sugar 
and are therefore more valuable for feeding than the larger and coarser mangels. 
This giant sugar beet yields much larger crops than any other kind of sugar beet 
and nearly as much per acre as the largest mangels. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 20c; Lb. 55c.

LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF, 
Long Island Improved Brussels Sprouts 
Rosenkohl (Ger.) BRUSSELS SPROUTS Cavalo di Brussels (It.) 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants, a packet 300 plants. 
This delicious vegetable should be more largely grown in home gardens, as it affords fresh green sprouts 
in the late fall and winter when other vegetables are gone. It is easy to grow, being cultivated like cabbage. 
The sprouts that grow along the stem are picked off and cooked like cabbage or cauliflower and are of very 
delicate flavor. The sprouts are of better quality after having been frozen, so the plants may be left in the 
open ground until December in the north and all winter south of New Jersey. 
Special Stock. We have not yet found a 
strain that will equal our special stock. It is 
the surest producing stock which we know and yields many more large solid sprouts than any other strain 
or variety we have grown. The plants of the Long Island strain do not grow very tall but they are covered 
from the ground up with large solid sprouts. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; 34 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
Plants. We can furnish Brussels Sprouts plants at proper time for transplanting. See under “Vegetable 
Plants,” Page 82. 
CHINESE CABBAGE, also called “Celery Cabbage" 
An ounce of seed will sow 300 to bOO feet of row, a packet 30 feet. 
This vegetable of the cabbage family has become extremely popula r. The inside leaves of the heads are very 
crisp and tender. It is excellent when used as a salad, being of a very delicate flavor which resembles raw 
|U cabbage but more delicious. It is so easily raised there is no reason why everyone who has a garden should not 
enjoy it. Chinese cabbage has proved a very profitable crop for muck land. There is a good demand for it in 
New York and other large markets in carload lots. The seed should be sown not earlier 
than the first of July in rows 234 feet apart, and the plants thinned 18 to 20 inches apart 
in the rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and is useless. Matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 
CHIHLI. Early—Fine Quality—Sure Heading. This is the best Chinese Cabbage 
_1 and heads earlier and more evenly than any other kind. The heads are 
pointed, very firm and when matured are often 18 inches long, pure white inside and 
are of fine quality. 
Chihli has now almost entirely superseded the older varieties in markets and roadside 
stands, as the attractive heads sell readily, making this a very profitable crop to grow. 
Our strain of Chihli is very uniform and sure heading. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 34 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25. 
Pe-Tsai. Formerly the standard kind. Of upright growth, forming heads 10 to 12 inches 
long which are solid and crisp. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 34 Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75. 
Wong Bok. The heads are shorter than the common Pe-Tsai and very solid. Has lately 
become popular for market. This variety is of most excellent quality being delicate 
flavored and crisp. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 34 Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75.
