Buokbbbs Thoroughbred Mangels. 



My Thoroughbred Mangel Seed is the ac- 

 knowledged leader throughout the land for 

 mammoth yield. Desirable shape, uniform 

 large size, long keeping and good quality. 



Buckbee's Mammoth Long- Red Mangel. 



Without question this grand Mangel of my own in- 

 troduction stands without a rival. It has created 

 a great sensation wherever grown, on account of 

 its extraordinary size, single root:; weighing from 

 30 to 40 pounds being of frequt nt occurrence. 

 Wonderfully productive, produc. ag on an aver 

 age the enormous quantity of from 1.000 to 

 1.500 bushels and over of the finest speci- 

 mens per acre. 



Beware of Imitations. 



The quality is of the highest order. Its 

 keeping qualities are not excelled. The crop 

 is always uniform, and the color is a beauti- 

 ful dark red. You cannot afford to be with- 

 out this best of all Mangels. Oz. 5c; > 4 lb. 

 15c; Yi lb. 25c; lb. 40c, or 5 lbs. (for one 

 acre) $1.75 prepaid. 



Golden Tankard Mangel— This distinct va- 

 riety isa most important addition toour list 

 of roots for stock feeding, as it contains less 

 water and more sugar than most Mangels. 

 The very best for dairy farming; considered 

 indispensable wherever grown. A higher 

 price is paid for milk when cows are fed on 

 this variety than on any other food. Sheep 

 and all other stock thrive wonderfully on it. 

 It is early, hardy and a good cropper, for on 

 account of its shape roots can be left stand- 

 ing close in rows. Do not omit this variety 

 when ordering. Oz. 5c; Yi lb. 10c. ; % lb. 

 16c : lb. 28c, or 5 lbs. (for one acre) $1.3 

 prepaid. 



New Golden Monarch Mangel. 



This entirely new and distinct Mangel grows 

 to the largest size and is of a beautifulrusset 

 yellowcolor. It is remarkably even in shape, 

 of vigorous growth; it has a fine neck, large 

 leaves with green stems, and a very smooth 

 fine skin. The flesh is white, firm and sweet, 

 greatly relished by cattle and other stock. 

 Altogether it is a magnificent root, easily 

 lifted, growing more than half above ground, 

 producing enormous crops, and is an excel- 

 lent keeper. Do not neglect to try this new 

 mangel. Oz. 5c; % lb. 12c; % lb. 18c; lb. 

 30c, or 5 lbs. (for one acre) $1.40 prepaid. 



I can also supply the following new and 

 standard varieties of Mangels, which are

 tion, at the uniform price of oz. 4c; Yi lb. 

 10c. : % lb. 15c. ; lb. 25c, or 5 lbs. (for one

Champion Yellow Globe Mangel— We think 

 this is one of the best varieties grown for 

 stock feeding. It is very productive and an 

 excellent keeper when stored in heaps for 

 winter use. It has exceedingly small tops 

 and few leaves; leaf stalks and blades green, 

 roots medium size, uniformly globe shaped, 

 having a very small top and few side roots; 

 color of skin deep orange yellow; flesh white 

 and of excellent quality. The roots grow 

 almost entirely above ground, making them 

 admirably well adapted to shallow ground 

 and very easy to harvest. 0z.4c; % lb. 10c; 

 y 2 lb. 15c; lb. 25c, or 5 lbs. (for one acre) 

 $1.20 prepaid. 



The Value of Mangels for stock feeding can- 

 not be overestimated. The results from their 

 use are wonderful, as is shown in the Improved 

 health and condition of animals, the increased 

 yield of milk in cows and the great saving of 

 hay. They can be raised at trifling cost. 



Champion Red Globe Mangel. 



This productive variety is valued for earliness and 

 its smooth, symmetrical, globe-shaped roots, 

 which are almost 8 inches in diameter. A grand 

 variety. It is similar to the Yellow or Orangi- 

 Globe, except in color, which, as the name 

 signifies, is an agreeable red shade. Oz. 

 4c; % lb. 10c; H lb 15c; lb. 25c, or 5 lbs. 

 (for one acre) $1.20 prepaid. 



Orange GlobeMangel— A large. round. orange 



colored variety of excellent quality, produc 

 ing a better crop on shallow soil than the 

 long red. The roots often keep better than 

 those of the long varieties, as they can be 

 more easily handled without injury. Oz. 4c ; 

 Yi lb. 10c; « lb. 15c; lb. 25c, or 5 lbs. (for 

 one acre) $1.20 prepaid.

 used principally for feeding stock.
