BUCKBEE'S FULL OF LIFE MANGELS 



My Thoroughbred Mangel Seed is the acknowledged 

 leader throughout the land for mammoth yield. Desira- 

 ble shape, uniform large size, long keeping and good 

 quality. The Value of Mangels for stock feeding can- 

 not be over estimated. The results from their use are 

 wonderful, as is shown in the improved health and con- 

 dition of animals, the increased yield of milk in cows 

 and the great saving of hay. They can be raised at a 

 trifling cost. 



Buckbee's Mammoth Long Red Mangel. 



This grand Mangel of my own introduction stands with- 

 out a rival. It has created a great sensation -wherever 

 grown, on account of its extraordinary size, single roots 

 weighing from 30 to 40 pounds being of frequent occur- 

 rence. Wonderfully productive, producing on an average 

 the enormous quantity of from 1,000 to 1,500 bushels per 

 acre. Beware of Imitations. 



The quality is of the highest order. Its keeping quali- 

 ties are not excelled. The crop is always uniform, and the 

 color is a beautiful dark red. You cannot afford to be 

 without this best of all Mange's. Oz. 5c: U lb. 15c; 

 Y% lb. 25c. ; lb. 40c, or 5 lbs. (for one acre) $1. 75 prepaid. 



Golden Tankard Mangel. 



This distinct variety is a most important addition to our 

 list of roots for stock feeding, as it contains less water and 

 more sugar than most Mangels. The very best for dairy 

 farming. Sheep and all other stock thrive wonderfully 

 on it. It is early, hardy and a good cropper, for ou ac- 

 count of its shape roots can be left standing close in rows.

 smooth fine skin. The fl f sh is white, firm and sweet,
