PETER HENDERSON & CO , NEW YORK.— MANGELS AND SUGAR BEETS. 
IgrSUnriER IS THE TIHE TO SOW^ 
MANGELS. m ui 
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. Thm out the plants with a hoe to 9 inches apart in 
the former, and 1 2 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 ahorse hoe. 
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 distinct and valuable.

I raised over 100 tons of your Collossal Long Red Mangel on 2 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 
anything else I 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 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 Britain, 
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 cf Golden Tankard before touching others. It yields 
under the best cultivation 50 tons per acre. (See cut.) 15c. per £ lb.; 40c.
