CURRIE'S IMPROVED 

 MAMMOTH LONG 

 RED MANGEL. 



ROOT CROPS FOR FARM STOCK. 



MANGEL-WURZEL, AND SUGAR BEET. 



Mangels and Sugar Beets make excellent winter feed for cattle, producing on good soil 



from 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre. Sow in June at the rate of 5 lbs. per acre, in drills 



2 feet apart, and thin out to 9 inches in the rows. Store in barns before freezing weather 



sets in, for use during the winter. 



Danish sludstrup — A selection of Giant Yellow Mangel developed under tests of the 

 Danish Department of Agriculture. The roots are remarkably uniform in shape, 

 and are of large size, the tonnage yield being extraordinary. This is the most 

 carefully bred strain of Mangel in existence to-day. Laboratory tests show a very 

 high feeding value, excelling that of other sorts. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 20c; 1 lb. 

 55c. By express at purchaser's expense, 1 lb. 45c; 5 lbs $2.00

 of finest quality, grown from a selection of the most perfect and largest specimens 

 year after year, so that it is to-day the best stock of Mangel in existence. The roots

 times weigh over 50 lbs. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 15c; 1 lb. 45c. By express or freight,

SUGAR BEETS. 



The production of Sugar Beets for their sugar is already one of our great national 

 industries, and Wisconsin is well to the fore as a beet-sugar producing state. Our Seed 

 is the best procurable, and the varieties we offer excel in sugar content. Do not yield 

 as heavily as Mangels, but as stock feed are much more nutritious. 

 Klein Wanzleben — This variety is cultivated more than any other, both on account 

 of its high sugar content (15 to 20%) and its great milk-producing value. The 

 root is straight and even, quite large at the head and tapering rapidly, making it 

 easy to dig. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 20c; 1 lb. 50c. By express or freight, 1 lb. 40c; 



5 lbs i $1.85

 tritive value. Roots greenish-white and easily harvested. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 



20c; 1 lb. 50c. By express or freight, 1 lb. 40c; 5 lbs $1.85 



Giant Half Sugar Rose — Identical with the preceding, except in color, which is deep 

 rose, shading to white at the tip. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 14 lb. 20c; 1 lb. 50c. By express,

ARTICHOKES — IMPROVED WHITE FRENCH. 

 Produce 1,500 Bushels Per Acre. Easily Grown. Great Disease Preventers. 



The 

 Hogs Do the Harvesting. Forty head of hos?s and pigs may be kept without other 

 food on an acre of Artichokes from the time frost is out of the ground until they grow asrain, 

 and from October 1st until the ground freezes solid. They can be planted' either in fall or a 



spring, for while in the ground, freezing and thawing does not hurt them. Cut to one eve like **&? 



potatoes, and plant in rows 3% feet apart and IS inches in the row. When dug in the fall and 

 stored, they should be mixed with one part of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to prevent shrink- 

 ing. Per peck 60c; per bushel $2.00; per 3-bushel lots, sufficient for one acre, $5.50. By express 



or freight only.
