A Revelation Among Mangels . . . 



The best results are obtained on a deep, rich sandy loam, which should be well pre- 

 pared and thoroughly enriched. Seed should be sown as soon as ground is nicely set-

THE GREATEST MANGEL OF THE CENTURY. 



BUCKBEE'S MASTODON — Without Doubt the Greatest Creation in Mangels Ever 



Placed Before the Public. 

 THE LARGEST, HEAVIEST AND MOST PROFITABLE MANGEL OFFERED. 



Buckbee's Mastodon is enormously, wonderfully productive. Its yield is exceedingly fabulous ; 1,500 to 1,800 bushels per acre is 

 nothing uncommon on good soil, and many experimental stations and trial tests the past "year have produced at the rate of 2,000 to 2,500 

 bushels per acre. We took many hundreds of specimens from our fields weighing over 60 pounds each, and many reaching the sensa- 

 tional weight of 75 pounds and over. Could anything be more marvelous than this truly wonderful Mangel. 



In length Buckbee's Mastodon is about the same as Buckbee"s Mammoth Long Red Mangel, but it is particularly remarkable for 

 its handsome shape and broad shoulders, its diameter being greater and its weight very much heavier. The flesh is red. of very fine 

 texture and quality, containing less water and more sugar than any other mangel, except it be Xew Imperial Sugar, making it more 

 nutritious and milk producing. Sheep and other stock thrive better when fed on it, picking out pieces of it in preference to other kinds. 



Prominent Mangel authorities consider Buckbee's Mastodon by far the most valuable and profitable of all stock feeding beets. 

 Please remember that I own and control the entire stock of this grand variety. It is such a shy seeder that the seed cannot be grown as 

 cheaply as other Mangels, yet being desirous of placing this grand Mangel at prices within reach of all, I offer it at the following excep- 

 tionally low values : Oz. 8c, }i lb. 30e, }4 lb. 35c. lb. 60c, 5 pounds ?3.50r prepaid.
