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 less 
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 wasoriginated in Scotland, where it has been known 
to produce 60 tons to the acre. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 4 lb., 20c.; 
lb., 50c., postpaid; by freight or express, lb., 40c.; 5 lbs.
