MangeUWurzel and Sugar Cattle Beets 



We strongly recommend the Mangels and Sugar Beets for feeding to cattle, sheep and swine. The 

 roots grow to a very large size, make a much heavier yield than Turnips, and are more nutritious and 

 fattening for food during the winter, largely increasing the yield of milk in cows. They can be grown 

 at trifling cost. The seed should be sown during April or May, in rows 2^ to 3 feet apart, at the rate of 

 five pounds per acre. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin or cut out with the hoe to 10 or 12 

 inches apart. The roots should be harvested before frost and stored in pits or cellars. 



CHIRK CASTLE HANQEL 



Remarkable for its handsome, thirk, uniform shape 

 and very broad shoulders, its diameter being greater and 

 its weight much heavier tlian Mammoth Long Red, as shown 

 in our photograph opposite. 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 was originated in Scotland, where it has 

 been known to produce 60 tons to the acre. Pkt.,10c.; oz., 

 15c.; % lb., 25c.; lb., 75c., postpaid ; by freight or express, lb., 

 65c.; 5 lbs. (enough for one acre), S3.00. 



TABER'S GATE=POST 



Originated by Mr. Taber, the prominent English seed 

 grower, has rapidly popularized itself, and is pronounced 

 by leading farmers the most useful Mangel that can be 

 grown. Its handsome, clean yellow roots are very heavy, 

 often weighing 40 pounds and over, and producing 2,000 

 to 2,500 bushels to the acre. Our seed of this now famous 

 sort is also grown for us by the originator in England.
