A Reve lation Among Mangels 



CULTURE. 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- 

 tled, in drills thirty inches apart. Cultivate well when young and thin out 

 the plants to one foot apart in the row. If these thinnings are carefully 

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

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..5i O to l.SOO 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 3,500 

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

 tional weight of 75 pounds and over. Could anything be more marvelous than this truly wondei-ful Manael ? 



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 the New Imperial Sugar, making it more 

 nutritious and milk producing." .Sheep and other stock thrive better when fed on it.pickingout pieces of it in preference toother kinds. 



Promini'Ht 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 theseed cannot be grown as ^ 

 cheaply as other Mansels, yet beinsr desirous of placine this grand Mansel at prices within reach of all, I ofifer it at the following excep- - 

 tionally low values: Oz. 8c, H lb. 20c. }4 It. 3Sc, lb. 60c. 5 pounds $2.50, prepaid.
