¥. W. BOLGIANO,
)/ Edmand's Blood Turnip Beet.
This is the most
thoroughly fixed and
uniform in type. The
flesh is deep, blood
red in color, and ex-
ceedingly sweet and
tender in quality. It
is round and smooth
in shape, and of good
market size. It does
not grow over-large
where room is per-
mitted as many kinds
are apt to do, there-
fore needs not to be
thinned so much as
most varieties. It
grows a small top,
and but a single tap
root, which fact com-
mends itself to the
gardener's attention
who grows beets for
bunching purposes.

i/^olgiano's Half Long Beet.— Our trial
grounds showed this to be a most excellent very deep
red half long beet, maturing after the Eclipse and
Early Market Beet. It is a perfect beet for family
use and for the retail stall, where shape and beauty
attracts. None better for shipping.

—'Early Market Beet.— This is very early, and
makes a large, marketable Beet sooner than many
other sorts begin to bulb. When cut it has a beauti-
ful red color, which makes it attractive at the table.
It is very shapely in form, good size for market pur-
poses, and retains all its tenderness. It pleases every-
body, sells well everywhere, hence continually grows
more and more in favor.

with smooth, clear skin and deep, blood red flesh. A

Culture of Beets. — A plant soil is best adapted
for beets, which should be broken to a depth of eigh-
teen inches or more, as the crop is dependent on
deep, rich soil. Draw shallow drills eighteen inches
apart, sow seed thinly and cover lightly. When the
plants attain several leaves thin them, leaving the
best stand eight inches apart. Keep the soil loose
about the roots, and destroy weeds. Sow as early in
spring as the season admits; also in May and June.—
Before frost take up the crop, cut off long leaves and
pack the beets in sand.

Giaut Mangel- Wurze\,— TIie Heaviest Cropping and Best Long Mangel.
This mammoth variety grows to an immense size, single roots weighing 20 to
30 pounds each, and always of very fine texture and good quality. It is remark-
able for the broad shoulder and massive shape of the root by which a great
weight is obtained \vithout coarseness. In England it has produced from sixty
to seventy -five tons of roots per acre.

Golden Tankard Yellow-Fleshed Mangel.— This distinct variety
s a most important addition to our list of roots for stock feeding, as it con-
tains less water and more sugar than any other Mangel. A special feature is
the rich, deep yellow color of the flesh, nutritious and milk-producing quali-
ties. In England, where it is considered indispensable for dairy farming,
large dairy farmers state that they are not only able to obtain a higher price
per gallon for milk from cows fed on this Mangel, but also that the cows are
in much better condition.

Improved Sugar Beets for Making Sugar.— Is a very large grow-
ing sort; used also for feeding stock. Recommended as hardy and very pro-
ductive, yielding thirty-five to forty tons to the acre, and containing a greater
percentage of sugar.

Culture Cattle Beets. — They should be sown from April to June in
drills two feet apart, and afterwards thinned out to stand one foot apart in
the rows. Keep well cultivated, and you will have an abundant crop of roots
for winter use.
