6 
BEETS. 
Plant in rows 3 feet wide, with 
1st to June 1st. Thin to 3 or 4 
for table beets and 8 to 12 inches fc 
For winter beets the later sowing is 
'Early Model.— We consider 
several trials, to be the best all-round table 
beet for this section. Its extreme earliness, 
perfect uniform shape and rich coloring 
throughout make it the best market and garden 
beet. Entirely free from strings or core. We 
have grown them for market and they have 
given fine satisfaction. By careful selection we 
have developed a strain of this beet that is 
more uniform than any we have ever seen and 
our seed of this sort is of our own growing and 
fully acclimated. While we are compelled to 
ask more for this seed it will more than justify 
you in the quality and quantity of the crop.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
*Odense Market—We offer Oregon grown 
seed of this variety raised from selected heads. 
Many gardeners are finding it profitable to 
grow sprouts, as they usually bring a good 
price; then, too, the waste leaves and stalks 
can be used for feeding stock. This variety 
is somewhat dwarf with close round heads. 
Pkt., 5c.; oz., 35c; \i lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
CABBAGE. 
Early varieties should be started in cold frame in January or February or sowed the fall 
previous. They can be grown in a hotbed but this is not so good as the plants become tender. 
The earliest cabbage can be grown by sowing seed in August or early September, then transplant¬ 
ing to the field in October. For late, plant seed in open ground May 1st, transplant June 16 
for fall and July 1st to 20th for winter cabbage, in rows 3 34 ft. apart, from 26 to 42 inches in 
the row, according to the richness of the soil and size of variety. Do not crowd them. They 
do best in a rich, loamy soil, with barnyard manure of any kind and applying 100 pounds of 
Utah land plaster to the acre. 
Early Jersey Wakefield.—This old stand¬ 
by still holds front rank as a first early cabbage. 
Its cone shaped heads mature very quickly 
and are unusually sweet and brittle. Our 
strain of this seed is very true to type and 
superior to that generally offered. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 30c; 34 lb., 90c; lb., $3.00, postpaid. 
Large Wakefield, or Charleston—Similar to 
Jersey Wakefield, but half again as large and

H lb., 90c; lb., $3.00.
