The Great Summer Greens 
CULTURE — Sow in seed-bed during July, August and September. Trans¬ 
plant in very rich soil in rows 244 feet apart, 1% feet between plants. 
Matures best during cool weather. We recommend 600 pounds 4-12-4 Fer¬ 
tilizer mixture applied when land is prepared. An extra top-dressing of 
nitrate of soda will stimulate growth. One ounce will produce 1,500 plants; 
4 to 6 ounces, an acre. 
CALABREZE GREEN SPROUTING—65 days—This is a distinct variety 
grown by Italian market-gardeners for Italian trade only. The plant forms a 
large solid head which remains green. After this head is cut off, a number 
of smooth sprouts develop from the leaf-axes, each sprout terminating in a 
small head about 1 inch in diameter. Bunched and sold as a second crop. 
Sow seed in frames early in spring; market in June and July. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; 44 lb. 85c; lb. $2.50, postpaid. 
BEETS FOR STOCK FEEDING 
Mangel Wurzel 
CULTURE— Much depends on good culture, so prepare your land thor¬ 
oughly and plow deeply. Sow from about the middle of March until the 
middle of June, and give thorough cultivation. After the first cultivation, 
thin out so as to stand 10 inches apart in the row, and cultivate like corn. 
If late in planting, soak the seed for 24 hours before planting. Sow 4 to 5 
pounds to the acre in rows 244 feet apart. Thin to 12- inch stand. 
GIANT FEEDING SUGAR (Half Sugar Mangel)— 110 days—A beet which 
is superior to Mangels for stock feeding purposes, as it is more nutritious, 
having a large amount of sugar. It is oval in shape, grows partly out of the 
ground, of large size and yields enormous crops. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 44 lb. 20c; lb. 50c, postpaid. 
IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED—110 days—The largest of all the 
Mangels and the heaviest cropper. Skin is red, flesh white zoned with red. 
This variety produces a larger amount of good feed than any other beet and 
is recommended as superior to all others .

CULTURE — Assures an abundance and never-failing 
supply of fine “greens” all through the summer and fall 
months. Gives maximum returns for little care and 
space. Gather when half grown for best flavor. Cut close 
without injuring heart of the plant, and another crop 
will spring up. Grows in any ordinary garden soil. In 
rich soil, however, and with good culture, it makes an 
amazingly luxuriant growth and furnishes an abundance 
of greens. Sow in rows 12 inches apart, and thin to 5 
inches apart in the row. One ounce will sow 100 feet of 
row; 4 to 5 pounds per acre. 
FORDHOOK GIANT—50 days—No other garden veget¬ 
able will produce more nutritious food from a small 
space than Swiss Chard. Of rapid growth. Foliage and 
leaf stalks used same as Asparagus or Spinch. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 44 lb. 30c; lb. 90c, postpaid. 
LARGE-RIBBED WHITE—50 days—Large, smooth 
leaves of thick texture grown mostly for the heavy 
main ribs, which are prepared like Asparagus. The 
green succulent foliage is used like Spinach. An old 
standard variety which still is grown also quite ex¬ 
tensively for its pearly white stalks. 
Pkt. 5c? oz. 10c; 44 lb. 30c; lb. 90c, postpaid. 
Cabbage 
CULTURE — For plants in hot-beds, sow seed early in 
January, then transplant in open in February and 
March. Later sow early varieties out-of-doors in March 
and April. For winter cabbage, sow seed in July, August 
and September, then transplant in October. One ounce 
of seed will produce about 3,000 plants; 10 ounces of seed 
will produce enough plants to set out an acre in rows 
30 inches apart. See page S for Cabbage Plants.
