THE CHCRK CASTLE 3IANGEL,. Our attention was 

 first called to this prodigious variety while visiting Scotland, 

 a few years since. We saw hundreds of specimens taken 

 firom the field, weighingotersirfy i6s. each, wliile whole crops 

 averaged thirty-eight to forty lbs. per root, producing a yield 

 of over sixty to7is to the acre. The length is about the same as 

 Carter's Mammoth Long Red, but it is remarkable for its 

 handsome shape and broad shoulders, its diameter being greaff)' 

 and its weight very much heavier. The flesh is red, of very 

 fine texture and quality, containing less waterand 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. We consider 

 this variety by far the most valuable and profitable of all the 

 stock feeding beets. Pkt., lOc; oz., l.=)c.; % lb., 3.=>c.; lb., Sl.OO, 

 post-paid; 5 lbs. (enough for one acre), S4. 25, by express. 



'Thirfr Castle Mangel is more than yon claim, 7nakijig the best 

 fvinler food for cattle and sheep. They are far ahead of any variety 

 I ever raised or used in this section." — J. W. Seal, Ml. Carmel, Ind.

 and not so long: exceedingly hardy, and maturing earlier 

 than other large ^orts. Pkt., 5c.; oz.,10c.; i4 lb.,15c.; lb.,
