 insisted that 

 this was the 

 best Mangel 

 grown, and each 

 season strength- 

 ens us in the 

 position w e took 

 when it was a 

 compara- 

 tively unknown 

 sort. We recom- 

 mended it as 

 the best Mangel 

 by far for dairy 

 farmers. It 

 combines ap- 

 parently all the 



line 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

"Bonfire" the Earliest in Alabama 



On September 16. 1916. Mr. Theodore Voigl. of Cullman Co.. Ala., wrote: 

 "Bolgiano's 'Bonfire' Early Beet Seed are the earliest Beets that lie have ever had. 

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

 will order more of this Beet." 



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 nnich higher nutritive 



value, the roots for feeding purposes being 



really more valuable, i)ound for pound, than 



than those of the very best strains of Sugar 



Beet, and llio yield under equally favorable 



conditions beinp; more than double. The roots 



grow partly out of the ground and because 



of this and tlieir shape, the crop 



can be harvested and stored at less 



V 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. Pkt.

1201. Klein- Wanzle 

 Bener Elite. This variety 

 at the present time has prob- 

 ably a wider 

 cultiva- 

 tion than any 

 other Sugar 

 Beet. It may 

 be distin- 

 guished by its 

 brighter color 

 and its lighter 

 colored leaves, 

 which are beau- 

 tifully undulat- 

 ing, and scal- 

 loped around 

 the edges; while 

 not, as a rule, 

 equal tothe Vil- 

 morin in Sac- 

 charine rich- 

 ness, it is con- 

 siderably more 

 productive.

 On June i.5. 1916, Mr. M. H. Tripp, of .Jasper Co., S. C. wrote: "The 

 Deep Blood Beauty Beet Seed bought of you vere very satisfactory. Planted in
