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 tons 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 enriched, 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 with 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 Broadcast. Cultivate with a horse hoe. 
COLOSSAL LONG RED 
This is a distinctly fine breed of this popular Mangel. 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.

GOLDEN TANKARD 
The roots are handsome in shape with deep orange colored skin. The flesh is bright golden-yellow, and in this

it is said that they will pick out every piece of Golden Tankard before touching others. It yields under the best 
cultivation 75 tons per acre.
