Danish Sludstrup. This is without doubt the 
largest selling mangel in the Northwest. The 
root is oval, easy to pull, and reddish yellow 
in color. High in yield and high in food value. 
Golden Yellow Tankard. A smooth yellowish- 
fleshed mangel. The roots are of large 
diameter, tapering quickly at the bottom, 
which is quite broad, with only a small tap 
root. It grows largely above the soil. 
Brussels Sprouts 
V2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre

ever conditions are favorable for late cab- 
bage and require the same methods of cul- 
ture. They mature best in the Autumn after 
the weather becomes cool. 
Tall French. This variety grows two or three 
feet high. It produces numerous sprouts 
which resemble little cabbage heads, one or 
two inches in diameter. The flavor is like 
mild cabbage. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c. 
BROCCOLI, ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING 
CABBAGE 
V2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre 
Culture. For plants of early kinds, sow seed 
in January under glass, and put out into 
flats about 2 inches apart. Transplant to open 
ground as early in the Spring as the soil can 
be prepared, 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.

Golden Acre. Small, round, quite solid heads, 
maturing with Jersey Wakefield. Plant 
dwarf, with few outer leaves. 
Charleston Wakefield. A little later and 
larger than the Early Jersey Wakefield. The 
leaves are large, smooth and rather thick. 
The plant is very hardy and vigorous. The 
heads are blunt pointed, broad at the base, 
and in general very uniform. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. This is the earliest 
and best cabbage not only for market gard- 
eners but for the family garden. Its great 
resistance both to frost and other unfavor- 
able conditions makes it the surest header of 
all the early cabbages. The heads are very 
solid, uniform, medium sized and of excel- 
lent quality. 
Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. The plants of 
this valuable second early sort are short 
stemmed, compact and upright. Heads large 
for size of plant, nearly round or somewhat 
flattened and very solid. 
Copenhagen Market. This is the earliest of 
the round headed type of cabbage. Heads are 
quite large, very fine quality. Although this 
is not quite so hardy as early Jersey Wake- 
field, it will be found excellent both for 
penis garden and the market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
cc. 
VEGETABLE PLANTS See Page 10 
Broccoli 
2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre 
Broccoli is a variety of cauliflower, but is 
more hardy and requires a longer period for 
development. It is often called “winter cauli- 
flower” and should be treated the same as 
late cauliflower. 
Italian Green Sprouting. The heads are green 
instead of white and are considered by many 
to be superior in flavor to the standard sort. 
If the first head is cut when ready others 
will sprout up so that several cuttings may 
be had. Pkt. 10c; Y% oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75c. 
St. Valentine. This is the finest variety of 
Broccoli used largely by market gardeners as 
well as in the home garden. The heads are 
large, solid, very white and of finest quality. 
With average weather conditions the crop 
will mature for use about February. Pkt. 
15c; Va oz. 6c. 
CABBAGE, EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
Late Cabbage 
Prices—On All Cabbage 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; Ya Ib. $1.20; 1 Ib. $3.60 
Danish Bali Head. A medium-sized, very 
solid head. It is a longer keeper and a good 
one to ship. The small heads weigh more 
than large heads of other kinds. Should be 
planted on good soil, with good cultivation 
to secure good-sized heads. 
Premium Late Dutch. Best for winter use; 
round or slightly flattened heads; stands 
freezing well. A good keeper and of excellent 
quality. 
Glory of Enkhuizen. Second early variety, 
sure heading and excellent quality. Plants of 
vigorous growth. Heads globular or nearly 
round, very solid and of large size. 
Netted Savoy. This is the finest of the Savoy 
cabbages, and a general favorite; of excel- 
lent flavor, surpassing that of any other late 
cabbage, stands freezing well. 
Red Drumhead. 90 days. An excellent red 
cabbage; splendid winter keeper. Heads 
round to slightly flattened globe-shape; com- 
monly 7 inches in diameter and weigh about 
7 lb.; very hardy; deep purplish red. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Chihli. A quaint, distinct early variety of 
great merit which we think superior to all 
other types. Heads are long, almost cylindri- 
cal, bleached pure white, very solid and of 
superior quality. The upright growth and 
the shape of the heads permit closer plant- 
ing than of other kinds. It is important to 
sow at the right time in July and August as 
See sowing will bolt to seed. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 40c,
