Bolgiano's New Jumbo Mangel 



Mangel Wurzel 



Culture. Sow 5 pounds to the acre in April or June, in rows 3 feet 

 apart, and thin to 9 inches in the row. Cultivate frequently with horse tools 

 and you will have an abundant crop of roots for Winter use. 



1151. New Jumbo Mangel. For milch cows and cattle generally the 

 new Jumbo Mangel has no equal. It is a milk producer of the highest quality 

 and at the same time keeps the cattle over Winter in prime condition. It 

 will outyield any other Mangel two to one. It is easy to grow, producing 

 immense roots in great quantities, thus yielding a most profitable crop. Pkts. 

 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 25c. Lb. 75c. 5 Lb. at 70c Lb. 



1152. Gate Post Mangel. The name indicates the immense size of 

 this fine flavored Mangel. Among the Yellow Mangel it stands supreme. 

 The milk it produces when fed to cows is of the richest character. As one 

 experienced farmer put it: "The Gate Post Mangel is a butter and milk 

 producer of first merit." If you want the best Yellow Mangel you ever grew 

 buy Bolgiano's Gate Post Mangel. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 25c.

1153. Giant Mammoth Long Red Mangel. Our stock is a great 

 improvement on the old variety. The roots are very large, uniformly straight 

 and well formed. Color deep red, roots solid, tops small. Boots attain a 

 large size. We received several reports last season of Mangels weighing 20 

 to 23 pounds each. Produces an immense bulk and tonnage. Pkts. 5c and 

 10c. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 25c. Lb. 70c. 5 Lbs. at 65c. 10 Lbs. at 60c. 



1154. Improved Golden Tankard Mangel. We have for years 

 insisted that this was the best Mangel grown, and each season strengthens us 

 in the position we took when it was a comparatively unknown sort. We 

 recommended it 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. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 20c. Lb. 65c. 

 5 Lbs. at 60c. 10 Lbs. at 55c.

 long and the globe-shaped. Flesh white, firm and sweet, much liked by cattle.

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 more than double. The roots 

 grow partly out of the ground and because of this and their shape, the crop 

 can be harvested and stored at less expense than any other root crop. We 

 are certain that every one who plants this variety and grows it with care 

 will be much pleased with the crop. Every farmer should try it. Pkts. 5c 

 and 10c. Oz. 10c. \i Lb. 25c. Lb. 75c. 5 Lbs. at 70c. 10 Lbs. at 65c. 



1204. Klein-Wanzle Bener Elite. This variety at the present time 

 has probably a wider cultivation than any other Sugar Beet. It may be 

 distinguished by its brighter color and its lighter colored leaves, which are 

 beautifully undulating, and scalloped around the edges; while not as a rule 

 equal to the Vilmorin in Saccharine richness, it is considerably more produc- 

 tive. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 25c. Lb. 75c. 5 Lbs. at 70c. 10

360. Lane's Improved Sugar. An American variety and the-'best 

 stock-feeding Beet known. It is not so sweet as the French Sugar Beets 

 grown especially for sugar making, but the roots are longer and finer grained; 

 very sweet. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 25c. Lb. 75c. 5 Lbs. at 70c.
