BROCCOLI 
We offer the variety GREEN CALABRESE, best of the 
Sprouting Broccolis, so good that by now about everyone 
knows it and likes it. During the last few years the use 
of it has increased amazingly. It is the usual Broccoli of 
the markets. As to tbe growing of it, that is easy, just 
as easy as it is to grow Cabbage, and the culture is about 
the same as for the early Cabbages. Just sow the seed 
early, and when plants are large enough, transplant to 
garden rows as you would Cabbage, giving about their 
spacing. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 40c; oz. 75c; 14 lb. $2.25. 
BEETS FOR THE TABLE 
Pulled young from your garden, you can be sure of hav- 
ing them always tender, rich-flavored, sugar-sweet, quick to 
cock, delicious when served. Three things are important 
with beets; quick growing, quick serving after pulling 
(without long wilting, toughening waits), and frequent, 
or at least several, sowings, so that you will always have 
young ones coming on. It is only the over-age, over- 
grown ones that insist on long boiling. Don’t overlook the 
first beet greens, the thinning of your rows when the 
beets are 144 to one inch diameter, cooked tops and roots 
together until just tender, then served hot with butter. 
EARLY FLAT EGYPTIAN—Quickest growing, and thereby 
rightfully earliest, of Beets. Flavor sweet, flesh tender, 
somewhat zoned. Valued for first pulling. Pkt. 10c; 1 
oz. 25e; 1% Ib. T5e. 
IMPROVED BLOOD TURNIP—tThere is usually a very real 
reason why old favorites are old favorites, and with the 
Blood Turnip Beet it is very definitely the honey sweetness 
and fine flavor, as well as the ease of growing that has 
won it high place. It grows quickly, and lends itself well 
to succession sowings, so one may always have it in perfec- 
tion. Flesh shows some slight zoning, going with par- 
ticular sweetness. The tops, too, are tender, for greens.

DETROIT DARK RED—Even, globe-shaped roots of richest 
darkest red, practically solid red in cross section, zoning 
searcely evident. Tender, fine-grained, sweet. Tops tender 
too, deep green with red suffusion. Popular for canning, 
but definitely an all-purpose Beet. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 30c: 
14- Ib..90c; 1 Ib. $2.75. 
EARLY WONDER—Market growers like this one for early 
bunching, but the home garden should know it, too. Smooth 
roots of semi-globe shape, dark red without, bright red 
within, zonings just perceptible. Matures evenly, and 
runs very uniform in shape. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; 14 Ib.

OHIO CANNER-—An excellent beet with all of the good 
qualities of the Detroit Dark Red from which it may be a 
selection, same deep coloring, same rich sweet flavor. It 
averages a little less of globe form, and runs exceedingly 
even in shape and size, making it particularly valuable for 
canning whole. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c; 44 lb. 70c; 1 Ib. $2.50. 
WINTER KEEPER—A slow-growing, half-long beet that 
is just right for use in late autumn, then richly sweet, 
tender, quick-cocking, when other kinds are far past their 
prime. It cellar-stores well for winter use. Pkt. 10¢c; 
1 oz. 25c; 1% Ib. 75c. 
SWISS CHARD LUCULLUS—Despite other introductions, 
and claims, we still think this is the best Chard. Pkt. 10c;

SLICED YOUNG BEETS in a mild sweet pickle are easy 
to can, keep readily, and in winter they are delicious. 
OTHER BEETS 
grown mostly for stock feed, for poultry and 
especially, but pulled young enough, they 
will do for table use, particularly for greens. From the 
Sugar-Beet, Klein Wanzleben, it is possible, though not 
very practicable with home equipment, to extract a syrup 
for cooking and table use. Thin all this class of beets well, 
giving each plant full room for development. 
MANGEL WURZEL MAMMOTH RED—A tremendous yield- 
er of enormous roots, these growing partly above ground.

CABBAGE THE DEPENDABLE 
And three thousand years ago it was just as important 
in gardens as it is today, for the growing of it goes back 
beyond history’s record. By the time of the Romans, many 
diverse kinds of it were known, the result of selections al- 
ready ancient then. It is of the easiest growing, our folder 
sent with the seeds tells how, and every garden should have 
it at every season. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD—About the earliest. Pointed 
heads, wide at the base, becoming hard and firm. Let them 
get hard if you want them for salads or slaw, but for cook- 
ing try them while they are still young enough to yield to 
pressure, cook just barely tender, season with butter, and 
you will have the finest thing in the cabbage family, more 
delicate, sweeter, more nutty flavor than Cauliflower. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 20c; 1 oz. 85c; % Ib. $1.30. 
GOLDEN ACRE—Very like Copenhagen Market, but of a 
size nearer to many home garden needs, heads averaging 
perhaps 31% Ibs., and coming on about nine days sooner. 
A hard, firm Cabbage with rounded heads, compact habit 
and short stems, thus permitting close planting. Pkt. 15c; 
% oz. 85c; 1 oz. 65ce. 
MAINSTAY EARLY—Heads of Golden Acre size, but harder, 
crisper, heavier, and it is a variety more adaptable to hot, 
dry climates. Attractive bluish tinge to leaves. Holds 
long without bursting. Considered an early, but takes a 
few days longer than Golden Acre. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; 
1 oz. 45¢e. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET—The earliest Cabbage of its size, 
heads under good average culture running to about 4 to 
41% lbs. weight. Heads round, very firm, quality just right. 
Notable for its uniformity. Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 30c; 1 oz. 
55c; % Ib. $1.95 , 
ENKHUIZEN GLORY—Holland has given us this fine sec- 
ond-early or mid-season sort. Heads round as a _ ball, 
and of almost rock-like hardness, cracking ahead of the 
knife when cut Heads should reach about six lbs. weight. 
Much used for kraut making, but good for every use. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 30c; 1 oz. 50c; %4 Ib. $1.90. 
ALLHEAD EARLY—Earliest of the deep, flat Cabbages, 
needing about 80 days, same time as the Enkhuizen. Of 
particularly high quality for cooking if used before quite 
solid; or if allowed to become firm and hard gives splen- 
did yield for kraut. Usually grown as a summer Cab- 
bage, but making a late sowing too, you can use it for 
winter storage, for it is a fine keeper. Heads should reach 
near 8 lbs. weight. Illustrated above. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 
20G so oz.wobes 45 bees. 0. 
ALL SEASONS—A firm, hard Cabbage with flat deep head 
for late summer and autumn use, or it will winter-store 
well. Heavy kraut yielder. Selected to resist hot weather 
and dry seasons. Very good quality. Heads weigh 6 to 7 
Ibs. Pkt. 10c¢; % oz. 20c; 1 oz. 35c. 
WISCONSIN ALLSEASONS—Like last, but selected for high 
resistance to “Yellows”. Pkt. 10c; %4% oz. 30c; 1 oz. 55c; 
1% |b. $1.90. 
RED ROCK—Prized for pickling, but can be used as any 
other cabbage. A heavy, solid variety for late summer and 
fall use, or will store well. Pkt. 10c; 1%4 oz. 35c; 1 oz. 60c.
