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



Jg^~ S\J7UZ7VZ£FZ IS THE TITOE TO SOSn£ 



MANGELS. 



THE best soil for Mangels is loose, friable loam and deep plowing 

 If expedient, follow tbe 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 g 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 nu- 

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

1 raised over ioo to^s of your Colossal Long Red Mangei on two acres. In many cases 

 three weighed over ioo 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 Lhan any- 

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

Golden Tankard. The flesh is 

 bright golden yellow, and in this re-

 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 ; 35c. per lb. ;
