BROCCOLI, ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING 

CARROT, OREGON CHANTENAY 
BEET—TABLE 
Seed in rows spaced 14 to 24 inches apart, 1 inch apart in the row. Work the soil 
well and cover the seeds about an inch deep. When plants are 3 inches high begin 
to thin until roots are 8 inches apart. A rich sandy loam is most favorable, but nearly 
all types of soil will produce beets, if sufficiently fertilized and properly tilled. 
Prices: Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 35c; 1% Ib. $1.00. 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 8 to 14 lbs. per acre. 
Chase Detroit Dark Red. Among all the varieties grown the Detroit Dark Red is by 
far the best. Certainly more than three-fourths of all beets grown in this state are of 
this variety. Our strain is an excellent, disease-resistant one. Roots nearly round, very 
uniform, medium size. The color is a dark blood red, making it a fine canning as well 
as for market. ' 
Gardiner’s Model. One of the best all around table beets for home. It is extremely 
early, of smooth, uniform shape. The flesh is dark red, entirely free from strings or 
core and unusually sweet. We offer a selected strain.

Giant Half Sugar. This variety is one of the favorites among the dairymen and hog 
raisers. It is very sweet and nutritious, as it has a larger sugar content than the ordi- 
nary Mangel. Long, oval tapered roots with white flesh. 
Danish Sludstrup. Large, reddish yellow roots produced well above ground. A heavy 
yielder.

May and transplanted in early July. Put in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the 
row. Rich loam soil which is warm and well drained.

Italian Green Sprouting (Early Calabrese). This vigorous plant is entirely different 
from the white heading sorts. Cultivated like cabbage, it bears a succession of sprout- 
ing heads which, if kept cut, will be replaced by others for 8 to 10 weeks. Each sprout, 
about 5 inches long, ends in a small head of deep green buds. It is one of the most 
delicious green vegetables. Pkt. 10c; 1% oz. 25c.

large, solid, white, and very well protected. Pkt. 10c; 1% oz. 50c.

CABBAGE 
For plants of early kinds, sow seed in January under glass, and transplant to flats about 
2 inches apart. Transplant to open ground as early in the spring as the soil can be pre- 
pared, setting 1% to 2 feet apart in rows which should be 3 feet apart. Cultivate 
frequently, and during dry weather water copiously. Late Cabbage seed should be sown 
in drills in open ground during April and May, and transplanted in June or July. 
Fertilize heavily.

Early Varieties 
Early Jersey Wakefield Special. This is still the most valuable for the main crop of 
early cabbage. We have secured a special strain with solid pointed heads and few 
outside leaves. It matures the earliest of some 20 strains tested. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c. 
Golden Acre. Very early, small, round headed cabbage of finest quality. One of the 
best for the home garden because of size and earliness. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; V4 Ib. $1.75. 
Late Varieties 
Chase Danish Ballhead. This is an outstanding strain of medium size, extremely solid 
heads of the finest quality. The interior core is small, the flesh very white and sweet. 
We believe this is the finest strain of cabbage for market or home. Pkt. 10c; oz. 75c. 
Oregon Ballhead. The acknowledged leader among Northwest growers for a late 
winter cabbage. This strain excels for solidity, resistance to aphis and freeze injury. 
The outer leaves are deep green and will hold their color weeks after cutting. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; 1% Ib. $1.75. 
CARROTS

the size of the variety. Cultivate freely and do not allow the soil to get too dry during 
hot weather. Prices, unless otherwise noted: Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; 4 Ib. $1.00.

Oregon Chantenay. A special strain producing very smooth roots about one inch longer 
than the regular strain and of more even diameter the whole length of the carrot. 
It is very popular with gardeners. The best carrot for bunching, taking the lead wher- 
ever tried. The tops are of medium size, tough and wiry, seldom breaking from the 
bunch. The roots are deep reddish orange with small core. 
Chase Greater Nantes. A selected type of wonderful quality. The coreless Nantes 
type is considered the finest quality for tenderness and sweetness. This new. strain 
has corrected the one weakness of this type with a tough fibrous top, which will add 
greatly to its value as a bunching carrot.
