BEET—EARLY WONDER 
SUGAR BEETS 
Improved White. This is the variety so extensively planted 
for sugar manufacture. Although it does not yield quite 
as large crops as mangels, the feeding value, pound for 
pound, is greater on account of its high percentage of dry 
matter content. 100 days.

Italian Green Sprouting. Rapidly becoming a very popular 
vegetable. Culture is the same as Cauliflower but much 
easier grown. A rapid grower, producing bluish green 
heads in center of plant about 90 days after planting. 
After original head is cut, the plant produces many 
branches which also bear smaller heads. It is usually 
served like Cauliflower but the flavor is distinct and has 
no similarity to Cauliflower. It is also cooked and served 
the same way as Asparagus. 90 days.

variety originated and grown in Denmark.

Crosby’s Egyptian. The name of this variety is misleading, 
as it resembles the Egyptian only in its extreme earli- 
ness. Tops small. The roots are flattenéd, globe-shaped and 
very smooth. Exterior color of root bright red. One of the 
best for early planting outdoors. Much used for bunching. 
It becomes fit for use earlier than any other variety. 50: 
days. 
Early Wonder, This is the earliest and most perfectly 
shaped Beet for bunching purposes. Its beautiful deep: 
blood-red, nearly globular shaped root, small-sized top and 
small clean tap root make it a strong asset in the Beet 
family. The attractive appearance, uniformity of size, 
shape and color, and excellent keeping qualities have 
- created a very heavy demand for this variety. A field of 
Early Wonder will mature so evenly that the entire crop 
may be harvested at one time. 50 days. 
Detroit Dark Red. We believe this is the best beet for the 
market and home garden, and on account of its uni- 
formly deep rich color the most desirable for canning. 
Tops small, upright in growth. Leaves dark green shaded 
with red. Root medium size, globular or nearly round, 
very smooth and of dark blood red color. Flesh is deep: 
vermilion red, zoned with a lighter shade of the same 
color. Very desirable for bunching. 55 days. 
Early Blood Turnip, Improved. A handsome, clean turnip 
shaped blood beet. Skin and flesh are of a deep blood red, 
sweet and tender in quality, and unsurpassed for solidity 
and keeping purposes. 60 days. 
Long Blood Red. The old standard variety for table and 
cattle. It is the best drought resister of all; color deep 
red, flesh very sweet. Grows entirely under the ground. 
60 days.

MANGEL WURZELS 
Harnden’s Mammoth Long Red. The roots are very large, 
uniformly straight and heavy cropper. It is the very best 
long red mangel and of the greatest value for stock feed- 
ing. 110 days. 
Swiss Chard 
Luculus. This does not make edible roots like the regular 
garden beets, but is grown for the broad white leaf 
stalks, which are bunched and cooked in the same manner 
as asparagus, and make a delicious summer vegetable. 
The young leaves may be gathered also and cooked like 
spinach.
