ROOT CROPS 



FOR ... 

 FARM STOCK. 



Mangel Wurzel or Stock Beet 



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. 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 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 by hand. Cultivate with a horse hoe. 



HENDERSON'S 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 quantity is exceedingly nutritious, and in all respects this variety is most 

 distinct and valuable. (See engraving.) $2.00 per lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upward, 

 $1.90 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S GIANT INTERMEDIATE. This is a variety between the Golden 

 Tankard and Yellow Globe. It is larger than the Tankard, not such a rich golden color, 

 but a heavier cropper. $2.00 per lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upwards, $1.90 per lb. 



GOLDEN TANKARD. The bulbs are handsome in shape with deep orange colored 

 skin. The flesh is bright golden-yellow, and in this respect differs from most other 

 varieties, which cut white. 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 75 tons per acre. (See engraving.) $2.00 per 

 lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upward, $1.90 per lb. 



LONG RED. This variety is more generally grown for agricultural purposes than 

 any other, producing roots of large size and excellent quality. $2.00 per lb.; in lots 

 of 10 lbs. and upward, $1.90 per lb. 



LONG YELLOW. Differs from the Long Red only in color. $2.00 per lb.; in lots 

 of 10 lbs. and upward, $1.90 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S CHAMPION YELLOW GLOBE. Smooth globe-shaped roots, 

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



"/ grew Henderson's Colossal Long Red Mangels last year, and I must say that they were very 

 fine and exceeded all expectations. I harvested 1320 bushels of roots per acre. "

NEW HALF SUGAR MANGEL 



Solid White Flesh Very Rich in Saccharine Matter 



As seed of the different varieties 

 of sugar beet is almost unprocur- 

 able this season, we would recom- 

 mend planting for stock feeding 

 the improved breed of New Sugar 

 Mangel offered below. 



This is distinctly a new variety 

 of Mangel, and is the result of 

 careful interbreeding between 

 White Sugar Beet and Colossal 

 Long Red Mangel. It certainly 

 approaches nearer to a Sugar 

 Beet than any other known var- 

 iety of Mangel, and by analysis 

 it has been shown that it is very 

 rich in saccharine matter. Its 

 growth is very rapid, so that it 

 matures much more quickly than 

 other varietes, and on that ac- 

 count it may be sown at a later 

 date. 



The bulb is very uniform, of 

 good shape, and has a single tap- 

 root. When singling it may be 

 left much more closer in the rows, 

 than larger growing Mangels, 

 and it will yield remarkably 

 heavy crops. 

 Half Sugar Red, per yi lb., 75c; 



lb., $2.00; 10 lbs., S1.90 lb. 

 Half Sugar White, perJ4 lb., 75c; 



lb., S2.00; 10 lbs., $1.90 lb.
