JOHNSON SEED COMPANY 



MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR CATTLE BEETS 



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; 

 yi lb., 25c; lb., 85c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb., 

 75c; 5 lbs., (enough for one acre) $3.25; 10 lbs. and over, 

 at 60c per lb. 



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., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid; 

 by express, lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $3.00. 



TABER'S GATE-POST 



The Largest and Best Yellow Mangel 



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; x /i lb., 25c; lb., 85c, postpaid; by freight or express, 

 lb., 75c; 5 lbs for $3.25; 10 lbs. or more, 60c per lb. 



All varieties in regular large-sized packets, at 5c. per packet. 

 If ordered in 5-lb. lots, 5c. per lb. may be deducted.
