BUCKBEE'S "FULL OF LIFE" MANGELS 



My Thoroughbred Mangel Seed is the acknowl- 

 edged leader throughout the land for mammoth 

 yield. Desirable shape, uniform large size, long 

 keeping and good quality. The Value of Mangels 

 for stock feeding cannot 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 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 :-i0 to 40 pounds being of frequent occurrence. Won- 

 derfully 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 qual- 

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

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

 out this best of all Mangels. Oz. 5c. ; lb. 15c; h lb. 25c; 

 lb. 40c; or 6 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 on account of 

 its shape roots can be left standing close in rows. Oz. 5c; 

 i lb. 10c; i lb. 18c; lb. 30c; or 5 lbs. (for one arce) $1.40, 

 prepaid. 



NEW GOLDEN MONARCH MANGEL 



This entirely new and distinct Mangel grows to the larg- 

 est size and is of a beautiful russet yellow color. It is remark- 

 ably even in shape, of vigorous growth; it has a fine leek, 

 large leaves with green stems and a very smooth fine skin. 

 Thj flesh is white, firm and sweet, greatly relished by cattle 

 and other stock. Altogether it is a magnificent root, easily 

 .fted, growing more than half above ground, producing 

 enormous crops, and is an excellent keeper. Oz. 5c; J lb. 

 12c; A lb. 20c; lb. 35c; or 5 lbs. (for one acre) $1.60, 

 prepaid.
