Mangels 
For planting suggestions, see Sugar Beets 
94 The Jumbo 
The best long, red mangel (110 days) 
Roots grow to a truly enormous size; often 
reaching a diameter of 6 in. and a length of 2 ft. 
They are uniformly straight and even, and com- 
paratively thicker than most other mangels. 
Roots grow from %-to 2% out of the ground, and 
consequently are easily harvested. Flesh is 
white tinged with rose. Where corn cannot be 
grown, because of a short, cool season mangels 
make an excellent substitute for stock and poul- 
try feeding. Their food value is equal to grain 
and superior to silage. A yield of from 10 to 15 
tons per acre is average. 
Lae 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 Ib. 50¢; 12 Ib. 90¢; Ib. $1.60. 
Larger quantities at special prices. 
95 Maule’s Gate Post 
Golden yellow, oval-shaped mangel (100 days) 
The name Gate Post refers to the desirable 
habit of the roots growing 14 or more above the 
ground. This makes the harvesting of this 
mangel much easier than those which grow 
mostly below the soil surface. Maule’s Gate 
Post produces large, attractive, oval-shaped 
roots of a golden yellow color. The flesh is 
white, sometimes showing a tinge of yellow in 
the rings. 
Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 Ib. 45¢; 14 Ib. 75¢; Ib. $1.25. 
Larger quantities at special prices. 
Broccoli: 
105 Calabrese 
Large heads; Italian sprouting (90 days) 
The Jumbo Mangel 
e 
Forms large, rich green sprouting heads which, if kept cut, will 
continue to develop smaller heads for 8 or 10 weeks, providing a 
continuous supply of greens. Because of its greater tolerance to 
heat broccoli thrives where cauliflower does not. Use the same 
' growing procedure as for cabbage. Italian or Sprouting broccoli 
very much resembles cauliflower except in color. A packet pro- 
duces about 250 plants; an ounce, 3000; use 3% Ib. for an acre. 
Fall crops are very successful. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 40¢; oz. 70¢; 14 Ib. $2.10.

Sugar Beets 
93 Klein Wanzleben Sugar Beet 
You can produce your own sugar sirup (90 days) 
Half the world’s sugar comes from sugar 
beets. Special equipment is needed for refining 
granulated sugar, but you can make sugar sirup 
(part of which crystallizes to form sugar) right 
at home with ordinary canning utensils. Sugar 
beet sirup has a distinctive flavor different from 
other sweets, and attractive to most people. 
Thousands of Maule customers planted Klein 
Wanzleben last year, and for many the interest- 
ing processing experiment and novel flavor of 
this homemade sirup calls for a repeat planting, 
particularly since extra sweetening came in so 
handy in 1945. An ounce of seed can produce 
24\ pints of sirup. Instructions free on request. 
Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 lb. 50¢; 1% Ib. 85¢; Ib. $1.50. 
Larger quantities at special prices. 
Mangels are grown for poultry and stock feeding. Sugar 
beets are grown in the same way as mangels, and are also 
used for stock feeding if they are not processed for sugar 
sirup. Sow seed in May or early June in rows 2 to 3 ft. 
apart and cover the seed with 1 in. of soil. Thin to stand 
8 to 12 in. apart in the row. Use one packet for 25 ft. of 
row; one ounce for 100 ft.; and 5 to 6 lbs. to the acre.

The aristocrat of the cabbage family (425 days)

solid, dark green, tightly folded sprouts or little cabbage-like 
heads along “the stem. Sow seed June ist in the open ground. 
Transplant in rows 3 ft. apart and 18 in. apart in the row. This 
hardy crop may often be harvested until December 1st if the 
plants are given some protection. Protection may be given just 
before severe freezing by raking dead leaves loosely around and 
over the plants, holding them in place with brush or boards.
