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 was originated in Scotland, where it has been 
known to produce 60 tons to the acre. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 
4 |b., 25c.; Ib., 85c., postpaid; by freight or express, Ib., 
75c.; 5 lbs., (enough for one acre) $3.25; 10 Ibs. and over, 
at 60c. per Ib. 
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, sup- 
plies 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., Sc.; 0z% 10c:3°% Ib., 25ce% Ib4:5c.,spostpaid: 
by express, lb., 65c.; 5 Ibs., $3.00. 
TABER’S GATE-POST 
The Largest and Best Yellow Man¢gel 
Originated by Mr. Taber, the prominent English seed 
grower. Since its introduction in England and in this coun- 
try, 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 producing 2,000 to 
2,500 bushels to the acre. Our seed of this now famous sort is 
grown for us by the originator in England. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 
10c.; 1% Ilb., 25c.; Ib., 85c., postpaid; by freight or express,
