Crosby 
Egyptian 
Culture —For earliest use and market, sow seed of any round sort under glass. In February 
or March, and transplant to open ground in March or April. Seed for main crop may be sown 
in the early spring as soon as ground can be worked. For table Beets sow in drills 18 inches apart, 
and thin to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. A packet will sow a row about 
25 feet long; use 1 ounce to 100 feet; 6 to 6 lbs. per acre. The round and turnip- 
shaped Beets are best for spring and summer, the half-long kinds for winter. 
Make successional plantings and cultivate freely. They are fit for use in 36 to 65 
days. Beet tops are much used for greens, being cooked like spinach. 
CBOSBY’S ZSGYFTIAIT. 42 days. Medium size tops, roots flattened globe 
shape: flesh deep red, zoned lighter. Our strain of this quality Beet is a de¬ 
cided improvement on the older forms of Egyptian and we claim there is no 
better early garden Beet, as it increases in size so rapidly. The roots are 
larger and more globular though still somewhat flattened at the top, representing 
more or less of a turnip shape. The skin is a very deep red and the flesh is 
somewhat lighter in color. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 2 ozs., 15c; ^ lb., 25c; % lb., 35c; 
1 lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
BABB7 WONDBB. 40 days. Also known as Boston Crosby. Early, tender and 
sweet dark red roots. This early Beet is the result of yearly selection made 
over a period of time. As we offer it today it seems almost impossible to still 
further improve its appearance and excellent quality. It is probably the earliest 
of the small table Beets for outside growing. The roots are flat to globe in 
shape, of a beautiful deep red color, and of medium size roots and tops.

MANGELS 
or Stock Beets 
Mangels yield more tons of feed per 
acre than any other crop, often yielding 
18 to 20 tons of roots per acre, some of 
the roots weighing 20 to 30 lbs. each. 
They should be fed regularly to all §tock. 
They not only increase milk production 
in dairy cows, but tend to promote the 
development of^ large, robust, fleshy 
animals that bring profit to the stock- 
man. 
Culture —One ounce to 50 feet of 
row, 5 to 6 pounds per acre. Sow in 
drills 2% feet apart; when about three 
inches high, thin to 10 inches apart in
