Sugar Beets 
Sugar Beets and Mangels are of great value for 
stock feeding, because of the improved health and 
condition of the animals, increased flow and quality 
of milk, and because of the saving in fodder. The 
yield is enormous, and the cost of growing is trifling. 
Grow a patch of them for winter feed. They are 
also excellent for poultry.

1 1 115 days. This variety pro- 
Italian Green Sprouting duces a large head, like cau- 
liflower, consisting of a compact cluster of bluish 
green flowers. When the central head is removed, the 
plant produces many branches, each bearing small 
heads. These are cut with 3 or 4 inches of the branch 
attached and tied in bunches for market. The stems 
as well as the flower heads are cooked and served as 
cauliflower. Oz., 40c; %4 Ib., $1.25; 1 lb., $4.00, post- 
: Cabbage 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One ounce will produce 
about 2,000 plants; 10,890 plants will plant an acre of 
early cabbage; and 7,260 plants for an acre of late. 
Three ounces of seed will plant an acre of early and 
five ounces an acre of late cabbage. For early cab- 
bage, sow seed in hotbeds in January or February. 
Transplant as early as possible to the open ground 
about two feet apart each way. For late cabbage, sow 
seed in the open ground in May and transplant about 
July first in rows 2% feet each way. 
In fertilizing, we recommend hen manure at the rate of 
one handful to three feet in the furrow. Care must be used 
so that the roots do not come in direct contact with the 
manure. 
Early Varieties 
Heads round, very hard. Matures 
two or three weeks earlier than Copenhagen 
Market, but is otherwise quite similar. Owing to earliness 
and remarkable uniformity, Golden Acre will prove the most 
profitable early Cabbage for market gardeners.
