The 



MANGELS. 



Two sowings were made of each variety, the first on May 22, and the second on 

 June 5. The seed was used at the rate of about 6 pounds per acre. Before sowing, 

 the land was made up in drills 2 feet apart and rolled with a heavy land roller to make 

 a firm seed bed. When the young plants were about 3 inches high they were thinned 

 out, leaving them about 7 inches apart in the rows. The roots were pulled October 21.
