BEETS—Continued 
MANGEL WURZELS FOR CATTLE 
Golden Tankard—100 Days. A rapidly maturing 
root adapted to shallow lands, although doing well 
on every soil. The root has broad shoulders partly 
above ground, rich golden skin, solid sugary flesh 
and golden footstalk. The flesh is yellow zoned with 
white. 
Mammoth Long Red—110 Days. Everywhere 
the most popular variety for cattle feeding. Roots 
grow half above ground, large, long, well formed, 
usually straight, flesh-white tinged with rose. We 
cannot recommend this beet too highly. 
SUGAR BEETS 
Giant Feeding Half Rose Sugar—90 Days. This 
beet is extremely desirable for cattle—of high nutri¬ 
tive value. The flesh is white, and very sugary. 
Klein-Wanzleben—90 Days. Beet sugar manu¬ 
facturers have united in recommending this as pos¬ 
sessing the highest sugar producing qualities. 
THE VALUE OF AN EXPERIMENTAL OR 
TRIAL GROUND 
The success of a seedsman depends upon his 
Field Experience as a worker in a Garden or his 
familiarity with a Trial Ground worthy of the 
name. A place in the open fields is like the lab¬ 
oratory to the chemist; where differences can be 
tested and noted. 
CABBAGE 
Native of the Western European Coast. Gardeners Can Rely Upon Landreths’ Cabbage Seed. 
One Ounce Will Produce 1000 Plants. Seed breaks ground in 5 days. One inch high in 8 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. Deep rooting will resist drought, so in setting 
out cover to the first leaf-stems. Supply plenty of moisture and manure. We suggest that you do not sow 
seed for an entire crop at one time, as plants of various ages are differently affected by circumstances, and 
by separate seed plantings you have a better chance to profit from at least a portion of your crop. 
Wisconsin Yellows-Resistant Cabbage varieties were introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural 
Experimental Station to combat the tremendous crop failures at the beginning of this century, 
and have proven to meet their requirements to prevent the disease commonly known as 
“Yellows,” or sometimes called “Wilt.” These strains have been successful in combating this 
disease. 
Marion Market Cabbage 
All Head Early—90 Days. Very hardy, large, flat, 
short stem, solid head, early for its size. Few out¬ 
side leaves, consequently can be planted closer to¬ 
gether than most other large Cabbages. A reliable 
sort, well named. One of the best of the intermediate 
varieties. It is one of those varieties which can be 
planted early in the Spring as well as for late 
Autumn. One of the best Cabbages on the market. 
Charleston Large Wakefield, Landreths’ Very 
Select—80 Days. Specially selected. Very choice 
and uniform, best of any from any source. One-third 
stronger grower than the Jersey Wakefield. One of 
the best early shipping sorts, larger but not so early 
as the Landreths’ Select Jersey Wakefield. 
Charleston or Large Wakefield—80 Days. A 
large, flattish variation of the pointed early Jersey 
Wakefield. Heads are half round, later than the 
Jersey Wakefield by about 10 days and 40 to 50% 
larger. This variety is also extremely popular with 
market gardeners, owing to its earliness and its size. 
Copenhagen Market—80 Days. The plants are 
very vigorous, short, stout stems, few outer leaves, 
producing a very hard, round head, very uniform in 
size and of long keeping qualities. In maturity 
slightly larger and later than Golden Acre. Pro¬ 
duces a greater tonnage per acre and is very profit¬ 
able. 
Marion Market or New Resistant Wisconsin 
Copenhagen—90 Days. A yellows-resistant strain 
of Copenhagen Market. Plants large, coarse, not 
so uniform or early by ten days as the original 
Copenhagen, have solid, crisp, tender, round heads. 
Will produce a crop when non-resistant strains fail. 
Wisconsin All Seasons—94 Days. A yellows- 
resistant strain of All Seasons. Valuable in sections 
which are infested with cabbage yellows or wilt. 
Coarser plants than the original All Seasons. A 
good Winter keeper, producing large, flat, deep hard 
heads. 
Wisconsin Hollander No. 8—125 Days. A late’ 
yellows-resistant Danish Ball Head, developed by 
Prof. L. R. Jones, producing larger plants than the 
famous Danish Ball Head. Heads are inclined to 
flatten slightly as they mature. 
Early Jersey Wakefield—70 Days. A short 
stemmed, hardy, early cone-shaped heading variety, 
broad at the bottom with a pointed peak, the leaves 
leathery and well folded over the top.
