MANGEL WURZEL OFk STOCK BEET 



Mangels are the most important of all root crops for feeding and form the best winter feed for 

 cattle and hogs. They increase the flow of milk when fed to milch cows and yield enormous 

 crops, as much as 50 tons having been grown on one acre. They may be grown in any part of the 

 American continent on fairly good farm land; all that is necessary is good cultivation. The best 

 soil for Mangels is loose, friable loam and deep plowing. Follow the plow with a subsoil plow, 

 and the crop will more than repay the extra trouble. The grounds should be well enriched, and 

 the seed sown in May in drills 24 inches apart in light soils, and 30 inches apart in strong, rich 

 land: thin out the plants with a hoe to 9 inches apart in the former and 12 inches apart in the 

 latter. 6 to S lbs. of seed are used per acre if sown with a drill, or double that quantity by hand. 

 Cultivate with a horse hoe. 



HENDERSON'S COLOSSAL LONG RED. This is a distinctly fine breed of this 

 popular Mangel. The roots are smooth and regular, of the largest size and blood-red 

 color. The quality is exceedingly nutritious, and in all respects this variety is most 

 distinct and valuable. (See engraving.) Price, 50c. per J4 lb.; $1,50 per lb.; in lots of 

 10 lbs. and upward, $1.40 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S GIANT INTERMEDIATE. This is a variety between the Golden 

 Tankard and Yellow Globe. It is larger than the Tankard, not such a rich golden color, 

 but a heavier cropper. Price, 50c. per \i lb.; $1.50 per lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upwards, 

 $1.40 per lb. 



GOLDEN TANKARD. The roots are handsome in shape with deep orange colored 

 skin. The flesh is bright golden-yellow, and in this respect differs from most other 

 varieties, which cut white. Sheep have a preference for this sort over other Mangels; 

 it is said that they will pick out every piece of Golden Tankard before touching others. 

 It yields under the best cultivation lb tons per acre. Price, 50c. per % lb.; $1.50 per 

 lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upward, $1.40 per lb. 



LONG RED. This variety is more generally grown for agricultural purposes than 

 any other, producing roots of large size and excellent quality. Price, 50c. per }4, lb.; 

 $1.50 per lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upward, $1.40 per lb. 



LONG YELLOW. Differs from the Long Red only in color. Price, 50c. per H lb.; 

 $1.50 per lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upward, $1.40 per lb. 



NEW HALF SUGAK MANGEL 



This is distinctly a new variety of Mangel, and is the result of careful interbreeding 

 between White Sugar Beet and Colossal Long Red Mangel. It certainly approaches 

 nearer to a Sugar Beet than any other known variety of Mangel, and by analysis it has 

 been shown that it is very rich in saccharine matter. Its growth is very rapid, so that it 

 matures much more quickly than other varieties, and on that account it may be sown 

 at a later date. The bulb is very uniform, of good shape, and has a single tap-root. 

 When singling it may be left much more closer in the rows, than larger growing Man- 

 gels, and it will vield remarkably heavy crops. 



Half Sugar Red, Price, 50c. per % lb.; $1.50 per lb.,; 10 lbs., $1.40 per lb. 



Half Sugar White, Price, 50c. per J£ lb.; $1.50 per lb.,; 10 lbs., $1.40 per lb.
