 ed Golden 

 Tankard 

 M angel. 



We have for 

 years insisted 

 that this was 

 the best Man- 

 gel grown , and 

 each season 

 strengthens us 

 in the position 

 we took when 

 it was a com- 

 paratively un- 

 known sort. We 

 recommended 

 it unqualifiedly 



as the best Mangel by far for dairy farmers. It combines apparently all the 

 fine points possible to condense into a Mangel. The color is a deep, rich 

 yellow. The flesh is firm and solid and a rich golden yellow in color. On 

 account of its shape enormous crops are grown, and it is easily lifted from 

 the ground. Pkt. Sc. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 15c. Lb. 35c. 5 lbs. ® 30c. 10 lbs (5) 25c.

Sugar Beets 



For Stock Feeding 



Culture. Sow and cultivate same as mangel 

 except that they should be thinned out 6 to 8 inches 



in the row. 



1155. Giant Feeding Sugar Beet or Half 

 Sugar Mangel. This magnificent Sugar 

 Beet while giving nearly as large a yield of 

 easily grown and harvested roots as a crop of 

 Mangels, supplies a food of very much higher 

 nutritive value, the roots for feeding purposes 

 being really more valuable, pound for pound, 

 than those of the very best strains 

 of Sugar Beet, and the yield under 

 equally favorable conditions being- 

 ifi more than double. The roots grow 



. :>!,' partly out of the ground and, be- 



cause of this and their shape, the 

 cropc;in be harvested and stored 

 at less expense than any 

 other root crop. We are 

 3j\ certain that every one who 



2«i plants this variety and 

 grows it with care will be 

 much pleased 

 with the crop. 

 Every farmer 

 should try it.

 e d by its 

 brighter color 

 and its lighter 

 colored leaves, 

 which are 

 beautifully un- 

 dulating, and 

 scalloped a-
