MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR CATTLE BEETS 



CHIRK CASTLE MANGEL-WURZEL BEET 



Remarkable for its handsome, thick, uniform shape 

 and very broad shoulders, its diameter being greater and 

 its weight much heavier than Mammoth Long Red, as shown 

 in our photograph above. Flesh is deep red, containing les3 

 water and more sugar than any other Mangel, making it more 

 nutritious and milk-producing. Sheep also thrive better 

 when fed on it, picking out pieces of it in preference to other 

 kinds. It was originated in Scotland, where it has been known 

 to produce 60 tons to the acre. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; J lb., 20c;
