BUCKBE|mMANG£L 



A REVELATION AMONG MANGELS. 



I 



BUCKBEE'S 

 MASTODON 



The greatest Man- 

 gel of the century. 

 Without doubt the 

 greatest creation 

 in Mangels ever 

 placed before the 

 public. The largest, 

 heaviest and most 

 profitable Mangel 

 offered. 



YIELDS OVER 2000 BUSHELS PER ACRJE. 



,» The best results are obtained on a deep, rich sandy loam, which 



GlllfUr'e should be well prepared and thoroughly enriched. Seed should be 

 sown as soon as ground is nicely settled, in drills 80 Inches apart. Cultivate well 

 when "um and thin out the plants to 1 foot apart in the row. K these thinnings 

 are carefully handled and the larger leaves cut off. they can be reset to fill vacancies, 

 and will mate the largest roots. Care should be taken in harvesting not to break or 

 bruise the roots as it hastens their decay. To preserve Mangels during winter, store 

 them "in a cool cellar similar to potatoes, or bury in pits in a dry situation, and 

 cover them with a light covering of straw, then a covering of boards and lastly a 

 tmodlv covering of ■soil to protect them in severe and wet weather. I would particu- 

 larly recommend that those Interested in growing roots for stock feeding send to 

 the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for a FKEE copy 

 of Bulletin No. 11. giving the analysis of American feeding stuffs. 



Hon. A. J. Love- 

 Joy, of Eoscoe, I1L, 

 the eminent stock 

 specialist, writes: 

 'The results which 

 I obtained by 

 planting Bnckbee's 

 Mangel seed are 

 truly amazing. I 

 heartily recom- 

 mend them to all."
