A REVELATION AMONG MANGELS 



BUCKBEE'S 

 MASTODON 



The greatest" Man- 

 gel of the century^ 

 Without doubt the 

 greatest creation 

 in Mangels ever 

 placed before the 



Eublic. The largest, 

 ea-\-ie3t and most 

 profitable Mangel 

 offered; 



YIELDS OVER 2,000 BUSHELS PER ACRE 



f^TTT TTTR"R "^^^ best results are obtained on a deep, rich sandy loam, which 

 ^ *J U X\-C/ should be well prepared and thoroughly enriched. Seed should be 

 sov^Ti as soon as ground is nicely settled, in drills 30 inches apart. Cultivate well when 

 young, and t hin out the plants to one foot apait in the row. If these thinnings are 

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

 will make the largest roots. Care should be taken in harvesting not to break or bruise 

 the roots, as it hastens their decay. To preser\-e Mangels during Winter, store them 

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

 w-ith a light covering of straT, then a covering of boards, and lastly a goodly covsring 

 of soil to protect them in severe and wet weather. I would particularly recommend 

 that those interested in growing^ roots for stock feeding send to the United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for a ]^££ copy of Bulletin No. 11, 

 gi^-ing the analysis of American feeding stuffs. 



Hon. A. J. Love- 

 joy, ot Roscoe, HL, 

 the eminent stock 

 specialist, writes: 

 "The results which 

 I obtained by 

 planting Buckbee's 

 Mangel Seed are 

 truly amazing. J 

 heartily r e c o m- 

 mend them to aU." 



The Greatest Mangel of the Century 



BUCKBEE'S MASTODON is enormously, wonderfully productive. Its yield is exceedingly fabulous — 1,500 to 1300 bushels 

 Der acre is nothing imcommon 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^ I took many hundreds of specimens from my fields weighing over 60 poimds each, 

 and many reaching the sensational weight of 75 pounds and over. Could an3-thing be more mari-elous than this tnily wonderful 

 Mangel? In Jength Buckbee's Mastadon is about the same as Buckbee's Mammoth Long Red Mangel, but it is particularly re- 

 markable 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, picking out pieces of it 

 in preference to other kinds. Prominent Mangel authorities consider Buckbee's Mastodon hy far the most valuable and profitable 

 of all stock-feeding Beets. Please remember that I own and control the entire stock of tiiis 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 exceptionally Ijw prices: 



Oz. Sc.: I lb. 20C.; ^ lb. 3Sc.; lb. 60c.: 5 lbs. S2.50, prepaid.

 lar enstomers, which is the very 

 best evidence in the world that 

 the seed I furnish them is always 

 satisfactory.

 gel Seed that will give you the 

 highest results, it will be found

A Leading Stockman 



Writes: ''Last Spring I purchased 

 £uckii(e's Mastodon Mangel Seed, 

 and raised over 4.000 bustiels, I 

 consider this a Jineand very profit- 

 able crop. lam greatly pleased vMh the results 

 obtained by planting Buckbee's Seeds." 



BUCKBEE'S 

 SUGAR BEETS 



The Sugar Beet industry in 

 the United States has grown to 

 great proportions. Sugar Beets 

 have two great uses— the making 

 ot sugar and the feeding of stock. 

 Their crop value in either case 

 is very large. I recommend 

 highly the varieties I list on the 

 next page, and have always been 

 careful to offer none but the best. 

 Growers of Sugar Beets can relj 

 on the seed I oSer. 



Prices always right
