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



2STSUMMER IS THE TIME 50 SOW^gJ 



MANGELS. 



The best soil for Mangels is loose, friable loam and deeo plowing. If ex- 

 pedient 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 9 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 blood red color. The quality is exceedingly 

 nutritious, and in all respects this variety is most distinct and valuable. {See 

 cut.) 15c. per i lb.; 35c. per lb. 



I raised over ico tons c{ your Collossal Long Red Mangel on 2 acres. In many cases three 

 weighed over 100 lbs., the best crop I ever saw on a-i average, either in this country or in 

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

 Pater sen, N. J. 



Those Colossal Red Mangels of yours are fine and gWe more feed to the acre than anything 

 else I knowot. They make a grand winter feed for all kinds of stock, — John W. Noblh, 

 Greenoble Stock I arm, Aletuchen, N. J. 



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

 dairy without them. Silo or no siio, the beets make the milk. — H. Bewlay, Lexington, Ky. 



Henderson's Giant 

 Intermediate. This is a 



variety between the Golden Tank- 

 ard and Yellow Globe. It is larger 

 than the Tankard, not such a rich 

 golden color, but a heavier cropper.

MANGELS.-Continued. 

 Golden Tankard.— The flesh 



is bright golden yellow, and in this 

 respect differs from most other varie- 

 ties which cut white. The Golden 

 Tankard is an ex< eedingly popular 

 variety in Great Britain, where it is 

 considered particularly valuable on ac- 

 count 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. (See cut.) 15c. per £ lb.* 40c. per lb.

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

 shape and size, and different only in color. 15c. £ lb.; 45c. per lb.
