Mangels are the most important of all root crops for feeding, and may be grown in any part of the American continent on fairly 
good farm land; all that is necessary is good cultivation. 
The best soil for Mangels is loose, friable loam and deep plowing. 
The ground should be wellenriched, and the seed sown in May in drills 24 inches apart in light 
will more than repay the extra trouble. 
If expedient, follow the plow with a subsoil plow, and the crop 
soils, and 30 inches apart in strong, rich land; thin out the plants with a hoe to 9 inches apart in the former and 12 inches apart in the 
latter. 
6 to 8 lbs. of seed are used per acre if sown with a drill, or double that quantity by hand. Cultivate with a horse hoe. 
If by mail, add for postage at the rate of 8 cents per Ib. 
HENDERSON’S COLOSSAL LONG RED. The roots are 
smooth and regular, of the largest size and blood-red color. The 
quality is exceedingly nutritious, and in all respects this variety is 
most distinct and valuable. (See cut.) 35 cts. lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. 
and upward, 30 ets. per lb. “We are feeding Mangels raised 
from |your Colossal Long Red— 
they are ofsuperior quality, much 
finer than Mangels grown in the 
same field from seed we purchased 
from . The crop from the 
Henderson seed weighed fully one- 
quarter more, were smoother and 
of far better quality.’’—GEORGE 
D. LEAVENS, Grafton, Mass.

HENDERSON’S GIANT INTERMEDIATE. This is a 
variety between the Golden Tankard and Yellow Globe. It is 
larger than the Tankard, not such a rich golden color, but a heavier 
cropper. 35 cts. lb.; in lots of 10 lbs. and upward, 30 cts. lb. 
GOLDEN TANKARD. The flesh is bright golden yellow, and 
in this respect differs from most other varieties, which cut white. 
Sheep have a preference for this sort over other Mangels; it is said 
that they will pick out every piece of Golden Tankard before touch- 
ing others. It yields under the best cultivation 75 tons per acre.
