 this was the

 grown, and each

 position we took 

 when it was a 

 oompara- 

 lively unknown 

 sort. We recom- 

 mended it as 

 the best Mangel 

 by far for dairy 

 farmers. It 

 combines ap- 

 parently all the 

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



yellow. The flesh is firm and solid and a rich, golden yellow ... 



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

 "Bolgiano's 'Bonjire' Early Bed Seed are the earliest Beets thai ire have ever had. 

 They are as sweet and as early as they can be. When we order again we certainly

Sugar Beets 



For Stock Feeding 

 Culture. Sow and cultivate same as Man- 

 gel 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 



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 tiiis 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.

 guished by its 

 brighter color
