20 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— MANGELS AND SUGAR BEETS. 



Summer is the Time to Sow 



*>** MANGELS ** 



T"HE best soil f:>r Mangels is loose, friable loam and deep plowing. 

 . ' If expedient follow the plow with a subsoil plow, and the crop will 

 more than repay the extra trouble. The ground should be well en- 

 riched and the s>;ed sown 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. Six to 8 

 pounds of seed are used per acre if sown with a drill, or double that 

 quantity if sown by hand. Cultivate with a horse hoe.

 roots of large size and excellent quality, are the distinctive features of 

 this variety. (See cut.) 15c. J lb.; 40c. lb. 10 lbs. and upward, 35c.

 1 ever saw on an average, either m this country or in England, and I have fanned m both countries. — John Hodgson, Crystal Lake 

 Farm, Paterson, N. J. 



We have always grown your Colossal Long Red Mangel, and we simply cannot run a u inter dairy without them. Silo or i ..' 

 silo, the Beets make the milk. — H. Bewlay, Lexington, Ky. 



Golden Tankard. The flesh is bright golden yellow, and in this respect differs irom most other

 qualities. 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 

 50 tons per acre. 15c per \ lb.; 35c per lb.; 10 lbs and upwards, 30c. per lb.
