20 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—MANGELS AND SUGAR BEETS. 
re> Summer is the Time to Sow —% 
.. MANGELS... 
HE best soil for 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 seed 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 to8 
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. 
Henderson’s Champion Yellow Globe.—Smooth, globe-shaped 
roots of large size and excellent quality, are the distinctive features of 
this variety. (See cut.) 15, $1b.; 30c. lb.; 10 lbs. and upward, 25c. 
per lb. 
HenveERSON'S COLOSSAL -LONG RED: MANGEL. 
Henderson’s Colossal Long Red. 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 dis- 
tinct and valuable. (See cut.) 15c. per 4 lb.; 35c. per lb.; 10 lbs. and upwards, 30c. per Ib. 
I raised over 100 tons oj ur Colossal Long Red Mangel on two acres. In many cases 3 weighed over 100 ibs.. the best crop 
I ever saw on_an average, either in this couniry or in England, and 1 have farmed in both couniries—John. Hodgson, Grystal 
Lake Farm, Paterson, N. ]. 
_We have always grown your Colossal Long Red Mangel, and we simply cannot run a winter dairy without them. Sulo or no 
silo, the Beets make the milk—H. Bewlay, Lexington, Ky. 
Golden Tankard. The flesh is bright golden yellow, and in this respect differs from most other 
varieties which cut white. The Golden Tankard is an exceedingly popular variety in Great Brit- 
ain, where it is considered particularly valuable on account of its nutritious and milk-producing 
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 Ib.; 10 lbs. and upwards, 30c. 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. 15c. per 
1 lb.; 35c. per lb.; 10 lbs. and upwards, 30c. per |b.
