ROOT CROPS FOR FARM STOCK 



MA.NGEL-AVURZEL \\U SI GAR BEET. 



Mangels and Sugar Beets make excellent winter feed for cattle, producing on good soil from 

 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre. Sow in June at the rate of 5 lbs. per acre, in drills 2 feet apart, 

 and thin out to 9 inches in the rows. Store in barns before freezing weather sets in, for use 

 during the winter. 



Danish Sludstrup — A selection of Giant Yellow Mangel developed under tests of the Danish 

 Department of Agriculture. The roots are remarkablj- uniform in shape, and are of large 

 size, the tonnage yield being extraordinary. Laboratory tests show a very high feeding 

 value, excelling that of other sorts. 



Carrie's Improved Mammoth Long Red — An exceptionally large-growing variety, of finest qual- 

 ity, grown from a selection of the most perfect specimens. The roots grow well above the 

 ground, so that they are easily harvested. Specimens sometimes weigh over 50 lbs. 



Champion Yellow Globe — Admirably adapted for shallow soil, although its roots attain to a 

 very great size, weighing from 15 to 18 lbs. 



Giant Intermediate — In shape between the Long Red and the Yellow Globe sorts, very produc- 

 tive, flesh solid. 



Golden Tankard — A good cropper of fine form and excellent flavor. Color bright yellow. 



Giant Half Sugar White — Nearly as heavy a yielder as a Mangel and of superior nutritive 

 value. Roots greenish-white and easily harvested. 



Giant Half Sugar Rose — Identical w^ith the preceding, except in color, which is deep rose, shad- 

 ing to white at the tip. 



WTiite Sugar — The variety so extensively grown in France for the production of sugar. A large 

 grower, excellent for feeding stock. "Write for prices. 



Lane's Imperial Sugar — ^A great improvement on the common sugar beet, containing a very 



large percentage of sugar. ! ■ ^i fc.-«-.c h'' , .«.■< .» >.it '««... ', -.' , .-a J .<«« •

 18 inches apart using about 1 lb. to the acre. Pkt. 5c; V4, lb. 20c; 1 lb. 50c; (by mail 60c);

ARTICHOKE — I3IPR0VED WHITE FREXCH. 

 Produce 1,500 Bushels Per Acre. Easily GroTrn. Great Disease Preventers. The Hogs do 

 the Harvesting. They can be planted either in fall or spring, for while in the ground, freez- 

 ing and thawing does not hurt them. Cut to one eye like potatoes, and plant in rows S\2 feet 

 apart and 18 inches in the ro-n'. When dug in the fall and stored, they should be mixed with 

 one part of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to prevent shrinking. Per peck 60c; per bushel 

 $2.00; 3 bushels, (sufficient for one acre), ?5.50. 



BUCKWHEAT. 



Silver Hull — This variety sown at the same time as the common Buckwheat, matures 

 a few days sooner, and yields nearly double. The flour is whiter and more 

 nutritious. It is a favorite milling variety and frequently outyields the heavy 

 yielding Japanese. Peck 60c; bushel $2.25. 



Japanese — An early and very prolific variety, with kernels about double the size of 

 ordinary sorts. It ripens a week earlier than the Silver Hull, remains in bloom a 

 long time and yields at least twice as much as common Buckwheat. Peck 60c; 

 bushel $2.25. 50 lbs. per bushel. 



FLAX. 



When grown for seed, sow from 2 to 3 pecks to the acre. 

 If fine fibre is wanted, sow from 1% to 2 bushels to the acre, 

 so as to grow clean, straight, slender straw. 



Primost (Minn. No. 25) — An improved variety, consider- 

 ably earlier than Common Flax; yields about a 2595; 

 larger crop and is more wilt-resistant. I lb. 12c; (by 

 mail 20c); peck $1.15; bushel (56 lbs.) $4.35
