Chirk Castle Mangel- Wurzel Beet 



Remarkable for its handsome, thick, uniform shape 

 and very ibroad shoulders, its diameter being greater and 

 its weight much heavier than Mammoth Long Red, as 

 shown in our photograph above. Flesh is deep red, contain- 

 ing 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 pre- 

 ference to other kinds. It was originated in Scotland, 

 where it has been known to produce 60 tons to the acre. 

 Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; i/4 lb., 20c; lb., 60c, postpaid; by freight 

 or express, lb., 50c; 5 lbs. (enough for one acre), $2.40; 

 10 lbs. and over, at 45c per lb. 



Giant Feeding Sugar Mangel Beet 



A new strain which, while giving as large a yield of 

 easily grown and harvested roots as a crop of ordinary 

 Mangels, supplies a food richer in sugar and of very much 

 higher nutritive value. Roots grow partly out of the 

 ground, and because of this and their shape, the crop can 

 be harvested and stored easily. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^/4 lb., 

 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid; by express, lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $3.00. 



TABER'S GATE-POST 



The Largest and Best Yellow Mangel 



Originated by Mr. Taber, the prominent English seed 

 grower. Since its introduction in England and in this 

 country, a few years since, has rapidly popularized itself, 

 and is pronounced by leading farmers the most useful 

 Mangel that can be grown. , Its handsome, clean roots are 

 very heavy, often weighing 40 pounds and over, and pro- 

 ducing 2,000 to 2,500 bushels to the acre. Our seed of this 

 now famous sort is grown for us by the originator in Eng- 

 land. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; l^ lb., 25c; lb., 85c, postpaid; by 

 freight or express, lb., 75c; 5 lbs., for $3.25; 10 lbs. or 

 more, 60c per lb.
