MANGELS and Sugar Beets 
6 to 8 pounds of seed will plant an acre. 
Danish Yellow Giant Mangels 
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. Mangels are also largely used by poultry 
raisers to supply green feed for winter. 
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 heavy yields of deep yellow skinned mangels 
with white flesh. Grows two-thirds above the ground.

Golden Tankard. Roots are oval in shape, bright orange outside and the flesh is

and of high food value. The roots are uniform in shape.

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 over half out of the ground. The color is bright red 
outside and the flesh white with light red zoning.

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.

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 adds variety to the table and affords 
fresh green sprouts in the late fall and winter when other green vegetables are gone. Brussels Sprouts are 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. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF. 
Special Stock. We have not yet found a strain 
that will equal this stock. It is the surest pro¬ 
ducing 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 Improved do not grow very tall but they are covered from the ground up 
with large solid sprouts.

Plants. We can furnish Brussels Sprouts plants at proper time for transplanting. See page 82.

CHINESE CABBAGE also called “Celery Cabbage 
A Delectable New Vegetable 
An ounce, of seed will sow 300 to 000 feet of row, a packet 30 feet. 
Pick these off after fall frosts for 
a delicious early winter vegetable. 
Forms tender crisp heads which are very delicious and can be served in a number of ways. 
The flavor resembles cabbage but is much more delicate. It is delicious when served as 
salad or slaw. The leaves may be cooked like spinach or the midrib alone used and served 
like asparagus. It is indeed a very versatile plant. 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the first of July in rows 234 feet apart, and the 
plants thinned to 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. 
Pe-Tsai Wong Bok 
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 wherever grown as the 
attractive heads are more firm, mature earlier, and sell readily. Our strain of Chihli is 
very uniform and sure heading.
