squash and fried like egg plant. When cut up in small pieces 
and cooked with cream or fried it is most delicious. Pkt. 10c;

Turnip. The roots are dark red and nearly round or slightly 
flattened. The flesh is deep red, zoned with lighter shade.

WONDER 
Wonder. The earliest 
of any Beet in exist¬ 
ence. It is of perfect 
globe shape with 
small tap roots. The 
color of the flesh is 
very dark red, which 
makes it splendid for 
pickling purposes. In 
flavor it can not be 
beat. It is tender, 
sweet and juicy, re¬ 
taining its crispness. 
SWISS CHARD 
Swiss Chard or Sea Kale. 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. The leaves are also cooked like spinach.

MANGEL WURTZELS 
Danish Sludstrup. Considered best of all mangels, having been 
awarded first class certificate. In color it is reddish-yellow 
and of a distinct type. It contains the largest per cent of 
nutriment found in any sort. It is very hardy, grows well 
above ground and is easily pulled. 
Giant Half Sugar. Is very much more valuable for feeding 
purposes than the old sorts, it being very much richer. In 
addition to this, the size and form have been improved until 
it yields as much per acre as the best mangels. 
Golden Tankard (Improved). A special feature is the rich, 
deep yellow color of the flesh. The roots are of large diameter, 
tapering quickly at the bottom, which is quite broad, with 
only a small tap-root. 
Klein Wanzleben. This variety has proved to be a very valu¬ 
able sort, on account of its richness in saccharine matter. 
Roots rather long, slender growing into the ground. 
Mammoth Long Red. This is the largest of all mangels. The 
roots grow from one-half to two-thirds above the surface and 
are frequently two or more feet in length by six inches in di¬ 
ameter. Skin dark red, flesh white with veined rings of rose- 
pink.

ing half out of the ground; flesh white, sweet and tender; neck 
small, short, easily harvested.

BROCCOLI 
Italian Green Sprouting. This vigorous plant is entirely dif¬ 
ferent from the white heading sorts. Cultivated like cabbage, 
it bears a succession of sprouting heads which, if kept cut, 
will be replaced by others for 8 or 10 weeks. Each sprout, 
about 5 inches long, ends in a small head of deep green buds. 
Many think this vegetable superior in flavor to cauliflower.
