Mammoth Long Red Mangel 



MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR BEET 



Sow early in spring in deep, rich soil, in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. 



5 lbs. to the acre in drills 2 feet apart. Thin out to 9 inches apart in the row. 



For feeding stock, few crops equal Mangel-Wurzel and Sugar Beets. Cana- 

 dian farmers appear to appreciate this more than we do. The roots are stored 

 in barns or pits before hard frost sets in and fed during the winter months. 



The Giant Half-Sugar Beets are much more productive than the Sugar Beets 

 and fully equal to the best of them in feeding qualities. A large portion of the 

 root being above ground renders them easy to handle. Every stockman should 

 give them a trial. 



Mangel-Wurzel are also very nutritious and yield very heavy crops, often 

 exceeding 1,500 bushels to the acre. It is not unusual to grow roots weighing 

 upward of 20 lbs. each on fairly rich soil. 



Prepare the ground thoroughly, using a liberal supply of barnyard manure, 

 previous to sowing the seed. 



IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED— The largest and heaviest cropper of 

 all the Mangels. The roots are often more than 2 feet long, and a half to two- 

 thirds above ground, so that they are easily harvested. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; '/4 

 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 55c. By express at buyer's expense, 5 lbs., $2.20. 



GIANT INTERMEDIATE (Mammoth Long Yellow)— Similar in shape to the 

 Mammoth Long Red, but shorter. Very prolific. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Va lb., 25c; 

 1 lb., 55c. By express at buyer's expense, 5 lbs., $2.20. 



GOLDEN TANKARD — Grows largely above ground. Roots are heavy and 

 half long; color yellow. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; 1 lb., 55c. By express 

 at buyer's expense, 5 lbs., $2.20. 



GIANT HALF SUGAR BEET 



For Feeding Stock 



These combine the large size of the Mangels with the excellent feeding 

 qualities of the Sugar Beets. The roots grow about two-thirds above ground, 

 making them easily harvested. 



GIANT HALF-SUGAR ROSE— Grows to a large size. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 

 Va lb., 25c; 1 lb., 55c. By express at buyer's expense, 5 lbs., $2.20. 

 GIANT HALF-SUGAR WHITE— An excellent variety. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 

 % lb., 25c; 1 lb., 55c. By express at buyer's expense, 5 lbs., $2.20. 



IMPROVED EARLY OHIO (Red)— Our seed is grown 

 in the Red River Valley in Minnesota, and is ten days 

 earlier than other strains. 



IRISH COBBLER— A popular white 

 skinned variety, and a very large cropper. 



RURAL NEW YORKER No. 2— The most 

 popular late variety, with smooth, white 

 skin and shallow eyes; an enormous 

 yielder. 



CARMEN No. 3— A standard late sort 

 with white skin. Any of the above pota- 

 toes, price, per peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50. 



NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN BEL— The 

 effective organic mercury dip disinfectant 

 — is used to control scab and Rhizoctonia 

 carried on seed white potatoes. The dip 

 treatment is easy and quick. The special 

 equipment, extra labor and loss of time 

 required for soaking treatments are elim- 

 inated by this dip method. It is inexpensive 

 as one pound disinfects 60 to 80 bushels 

 of seed at a cost of 1V 2 to 3 cents per 

 bushel.
