MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR CATTLE BEETS 



We strongly recommend the Mangela and Sugar Beets for feeding to cattle, sheep and swine. The 

 roots grow to a very large size, make a much heavier yield than Turnii)s, and are more nutritious and 

 fattening for food during the winter, largely increasing the yield of milk in cows. They can be grown 

 at trifling cost. The seed should be sown during April or May, in rows 2^ to 3 feet apart, at the rate of 

 five pounds per acre. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin or cut out with the hoe to 10 or 12 

 inches apart. The roots should be harvested before frost and stored in pits or cellars. 



Photograph of Prize Chirk Oastle Mangel In comparison with the largest Improved Mammoth Long Red, both specimens 

 grown in same field, with same cultivation. We believe this specimen to be the largest Mangel ever grown in America. 



THE CHIRK CASTLE MANQEL-WyRStEL 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., 10c. ; oz., 15c. ; i lb., 25c.; lb., 75c., postpaid ; by freight or express, lb., 65c.; 5 Iba.
