Pkt. will sow 20 ft. row 
1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
8 to 10 lbs. will sow 1 acre 
Sow as early as soil can be worked in Spring, dropping 
seeds 14 inch apart, % inch deep in rows 12 to 18 
inches apart. Thin seedlings to 114 to 3 inches, de- 
pending on what size beets are wanted. For con- 
tinuous harvest, plant at three week intervals to 
August Ist. 
* DETROIT DARK RED: 68 days. The outstanding 
variety for produce shippers and canners; also used 
for bunching. Roots are globular or nearly round, 
very dark, interior color blood red. Unless growing 
conditions are abnormal, the zones are so inconspicu- 
ous that the beets seem to be one solid color. 
Our stock has been outstanding for several years 
in field trials at the New York State Experiment 
Station. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; % Ib. 60 cts.; 
Ib. $1.65; 10 Ibs. $14.85; 100 lbs. $141.00. 
EARLY WONDER (TALL TOP STRAIN): 65 days. 
Very desirable for home and market garden. Roots 
flattened globe shape with small collar and tap root; 
dark purplish red; flesh deep crimson red zoned a 
lighter shade. These zones make this variety unde- 
sirable for canning. The tall tops and uniform 
shape make this a very desirable variety for bunch-

of Early Wonder. Interior color not as solid red as 
Detroit Dark Red but a fine variety for table use.

Each year more people are growing and eating broccoli. It is easy 
to grow and now we have a new early strain, DeCicco, that will 
lengthen the broccoli season. 

Better sow Detroit Dark Red if you are planning on canning a part 
of your beet crop. Our strain is blood-red clear to the center. 
BROCCOLI

Pkt. should produce 150 plants 
1 oz. should produce 2000 plants 
Seed hot water treated 
If started in greenhouse or hot bed April Ist and 
transplanted into open ground, broccoli will be ready 
for use the first week in July. Later plantings can be 
made in the open ground and either transplanted or 
thinned to 24 inches in the row. Rows should be 3 feet 
apart. Some seasons aphids are rather troublesome, 
especially on early crops. We think best quality heads 
are produced from seed sown about June Ist. 
DeCICCO: 50 days. An extremely early strain pro- 
ducing heads ready for market ten days earlier than 
Italian Green Sprouting.(Calabrese). Plants medi- 
um tall, light green in color, and very productive. 
Our stock of this strain has been carefully selected 
for uniformity and can be highly recommended as 
the earliest maturing strain of Broccoli obtainable.

*x ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (Calabrese): 60 
days. Plants are 3 to 4 feet high and branched. After 
the central head is removed, a number of smaller 
heads are produced on stems 4 to 5 inches in length. 
If kept cut, the plants will continue to produce for 
five or six weeks. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 45 cts.;

*xLONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF: 95 days. 
We have found this strain very desirable because it 
will produce sprouts under less favorable conditions 
than other varieties. The plants are of dwarf habit 
but furnish a large yield of sprouts of excellent 
quality. Light freezes seem to improve the quality.
