The illustration above shows the method of selecting roots for the 

 production of Sutton's pedigree stock of Prizewinner Yellow Globe Mangel. 

 Every year several tons of typical specimens are chosen. The roots are 

 separately examined and laid out in rows for final inspection by one of the 

 partners, whose experience enables him to detect the smallest departure 

 from the true type. Conformity to an ideal is sought in every root. There 

 must be freedom from side roots, the true colour, and, above all, the density 

 which indicates high feeding quality. The same process is adopted with 

 Swedes, Turnips, Cabbage, and other farm crops offered by the Firm as a 

 result of more than a century's effort to make farming profitable. 



It is the constant selection of each variety that has gradually esta- 

 blished the value of Sutton's pedigree stocks, which prove their superiority 

 by winning premier acreage prizes at leading competitions in all parts of 

 the Kingdom. 



Many lists contain the offer of seeds bearing the name of Sutton's, but 

 none are genuine without the registered trade mark which appears on a 

 ticket enclosed in every sack or bag from the Warehouses of the Royal Seed 

 Establishment, Reading.
