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



S\J7UZ7UZmFZ IS THE TT7«£E TO SOiztf _^f 



MANGELS. 



THE 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 

 enriched, 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 q inches apart in the former, and 12 inches apart in the latter. 

 6 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. 



Henderson's Colossal Long Red. The roots are smooth and regular, 

 of the largest size and blo< d red color. The quality is exceedingly nu- 

 tritious, and in all respects this variety is most distinct and valuable. 

 {See ait.") 15c. per \Xo.\ 35c. per lb. ; 10 lbs. and upwards, 30c. per lb. 



I raised over 700 cons of your Colossal Long Red Mangel on two acres. In many cases 

 three weighed over 100 lbs., the best crop I ever saw on an average, either in this country 

 or in England, and I have farmed in both countries. — John Hodgson, Crystal Lake Farm, 

 Paterson. N. J. 



Those Colossal Red Mangels of yours are fine, and give more feed to the acre than any- 

 thing else 1 know of. They make a grand winter feed for all kinds of stock. — John W. 

 Noble, Greenoble Stock Farm, Metuchen, N. J. 



We have always grown your Colossal Long Red Mangel, and we simply cannot run a 

 winter dairy without them. Silo or no silo, the lieets make the milk. — H. Bewlav, 

 Lexington, Ky.
