on a deep, rich, sandy loam. Sow in rows 18 
inches apart, covering about an inch deep and 
press the soil firmly over the seed. When the 
plants are well established, thin 4 to 6 inches 
apart in the row. In this latitude bests are 
planted from January until the end of April, 
and from the middle of July to the end of 
November.

tops and tap root. Good home garden

market gardeners for both early and 
late crops, a fine keeper for winter

STOCK BEETS 
JUMBO OR GIANT MANGEL. This 
is the most popular Long Red Mangel. 
It is the largest variety we know of. 
Grows about two-thirds out of the 
ground and frequently grows to 
weight of 20 pounds each, It is one 
of the very best for cattle and sheep 
feeding during winter and those de- 
siring a good Red Mangel will cer- 
tainly want this one, as it always 
produces roots of good size and qual- 
ity. 
BROCCOLI 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. En- 
tirely different from the white head- 
ing sorts. Cultivated like cabbage, 
it bears a succession of sprouting 
heads which, if kept cut, will be re- 
placed by others for 8 or 10 weeks. 
Each sprout, about 5 inches long, ends 
in a small head of deep green buds. 


BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
This vegetable can be grown wher- 
ever conditions are favorable for late 
cabbage. It requires the same culture. 
The shoots, or small ‘‘cabbages’’, 
clustered around a main stem, mature 
in autumn after the weather becomes 
cool.

EARLY SNOWBALL. A good forcing 
variety, and can be used also as a

CARROT 
CULTURE: Carrots require about the same 
simple care as beets, they have no serious in- 
sect enemies, and they are rarely attacked by 
disease. Since freshly manured soil often 
causes divided roots, it is best to plant them 
in soil that has been richly fertilized the 
previous season.

longer than Chantenay, tapering to 
blunt point. About equally popular 
with Chantenay because of fine rich
