Miscellaneous Agricultural Seeds 



Mangel Wurzel or- 

 Stock Beets 



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 

 ions 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 soil should be well en- 

 riched, 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 w-ith a hoe 

 to 9 inches apart in the former and 

 12 inches apart in the latter. 6 to 8 

 lbs. of seed are used per acre if sown 

 with a drill, or double that quantity

HENDERSON'S SELECTED VARIETIES 

 OF SUPREME QUALITY 



IMPORTANT. A change of Seed Oats is necessary and the seed should be 

 renewed at least every second or third year. Oats grown on the same soil year 

 after year deteriorate rapidly and soon become light, chaffy and unprofitable. 



CLYDESDALE 



The Most Popular High-Grade White Oat 



Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly gained in popularity, 

 and today it is the most popular High Grade White Oat in the United States. The ultimate 

 financial benefit accruing to the American farmers by the annual distribution of several 

 thousand bushels of Clydesdale Oat cannot be overestimated. These Oats weigh con- 

 siderably more per measured bushel than any other variety, so that the produce is worth 

 for seed purposes at least double the market value of ordinary Oats. Xo other Oat can 

 show such a record — 75 to 100 bushels per acre, and double the usual quantity of straw. 

 Another most important advantage of Clydesdale Oat to the farmer is the fact that 



it has been thoroughly cleaned by the latest and most 

 improved machinery, and is absolutely free from 

 weed seeds. Sow 3 bushels per acre. Price, peck, $1.10; 

 standard bushel of 32 lbs., $3.00.
