doubt the largest selling mangel in the 
Northwest. The root is oval, long, easy to 
pull, and reddish yellow in color. High in 
yield and high in food value. We raise our 
own seed each year and can guarantee it 
both as to type and germination. For 
quantity prices see page 1.

Easiest to pull. Grows mostly above 
ground. Produces more weight to the 
acre, but is coarser grain than the other 
mangels.

smooth yellowish-fleshed mangel. The 
roots are of large diameter, tapering 
quickly at the bottom, which is quite 
broad, with only a small tap root. It 
grows largely above the soil. It yields 
large crops on good land and is easily 
harvested.

ular sugar beet, and sweeter than the

Broccoli 
Zz oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
Broccoli is a variety of cauliflower, but 
is more hardy and requires a longer pe¬ 
riod for development. It is often called 
“winter cauliflower” and should be treat¬ 
ed the same as late cauliflower. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. This 
new type of Broccoli is a recent introduc¬ 
tion from Europe. The heads are green 
instead of white and are considered by 
many to be superior in flavor to the stand¬ 
ard sort. If the first head is cut when 
ready others will sprout up so that several 
cuttings may be had. It is cooked like 
cauliflower. Pkg. 10c; oz. 75c. 
ST. VALENTINE. This is the finest va¬ 
riety of Broccoli for use in the west where 
it is used largely by market gardeners as 
well as in the home garden. The heads 
are large, solid, very white and of finest 
quality. With average weather conditions 
the crop will mature for use about Feb¬ 
ruary. Pkg. 10c; Y\ oz. 30c; oz. $1.00; 
lb. $3.50. 
★ EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. This 
is the earliest and best cabbage not only 
for market gardeners but for the family 
garden. Its great resistance both to frost 
and other unfavorable conditions makes 
it the surest header of all the early cab¬ 
bages. The heads are very solid, uniform, 
medium sized and of excellent quality. 
Pkg. 5c; oz. 20c; / 4 lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00.

at edges. Heads large for size of plant, 
nearly round or somewhat flattened, close, 
firm and very solid. Matures a little 
earlier than Early Summer. First quality 
seed. Pkg. 5c; oz. 20c; Y\ lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.

ing and finest quality. Good to plant early 
or late. Pkg. 5c; oz. 20c; J4 lb. 60c. 
★ COPENHAGEN MARKET. This is the 
earliest of the round headed type of cab¬ 
bage yet introduced. Heads are quite 
large, very fine quality. Although this is 
not quite so hardy as early Jersey Wake¬ 
field, it will be found excellent both for 
home garden and the market. Pkg. 5c; 
oz. 25c; Yu. lb. 75c. 
Brussels Sprouts 
Yz oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre.

cabbage and require the same method of 
culture. They mature best in the Autumn 
after the weather becomes cool. 
TALL FRENCH. This variety grows two 
or three feet high. It produces numerous 
sprouts which resemble little cabbage 
heads, one to two inches in diameter. The 
flavor is like mild cabbage. Pkg. 10c;

Pure Bred CABBAGE 
Yz oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
CULTURE —For plants of early kinds, sow 
seed in January under glass, and put out 
into flats about 2 inches apart. Trans¬ 
plant to open ground as early in the Spring 
as the soil can be prepared, setting 1 Yz to 
2 feet apart, in rows, which should be 3 
feet apart. Cultivate frequently, and dur¬ 
ing dry weather water copiously. Late 
Cabbage seed should be sown in drills in 
open ground during April and May, and 
transplanted in June or July. Fertilize 
heavily, using 400 pounds nitrate of soda 
per acre in three dressings, one-third 
when plants are set out, and two-thirds a 
month apart later. 
Late Cabbage 
★ DANISH BALL H EAD. A medium-sized, 
very solid head. Is a longer keeper and 
a good one to ship. The small heads weigh 
more than large heads of other kinds. 
Should be planted on good soil, with good 
cultivation to secure good-sized heads. 
On poor soil it makes too long a stem. 
Pkg. 5c; oz. 25c; Y\ lb. 75c. 
GENUINE SELECTED SUREHEAD. One 
of the most reliable main crop of late 
cabbages for the Northwest. It is very
