ROOT CROPS FOR FARM STOCK 



ma>gel-a\t:rzel 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 Slndstrup — A selection of Giant Yellow llangel 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. Laboratory tests show a very high feeding 

 value, excelling that of other sorts. 



Carrie's Improved Mammoth Long Red — An exceptionally large-growing variety, of finest qual- 

 ity, grown from a selection of the most perfect specimens. The roots grow^ well above the 

 ground, so that they are easily harvested. Specimens sometimes ■weigh over 50 lbs.

 very great size, w^eighing from 15 to 18 lbs.

Golden Tankard — A good cropper of fine form and excellent flavor. Color bright yellow. 



Giant' Half Sugar White — Nearly as heavy a yielder as a Mangel and of superior nutritive 

 value. Roots greenish-'white and easily harvested. 



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

 ing to white at the tip. 



White Sugar — The variety so extensively grown in France for the production of sugar. A large 

 grower, excellent for feeding stock.

large percentage of sugar.

 ing and thawing does not hurt them. Cut to one eye like potatoes, and plant in rows o% feet

 ordinary sorts. It ripens a week earlier than the Silver Hull, remains in bloom a

 Flax; yields about a 25% larger crop and is more wilt-resistant. 1 lb. loc, (by
