SUGAR BEETS 



For Stock Feeding 



1204. Klein-Wanzle Bener Elite. This variety at the 

 present time has probably a wider cultivation than any other 

 Sugar Beet. It may be distinguished by its brighter color and its 

 lighter colored leaves, which are beautifully undulating, and scal- 

 loped around the edges; while not as a rule equal to the Vilmorin 

 in Saccharine richness, it is considerably more productive. Pkts. 

 oc and 10c. Oz. 10c. }4 Lb. 15c. Lb. 45c. 



360. Lane's Improved Sugar. An American variety and 

 the best stock-feeding Beet known. It is not so sweet as the French 

 Sugar Beets grown especially for sugar naaking. but the roots are 



longer and finer grained; very sweet. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c.

1153. Giant Feeding Sugar Beet or Hal Sugar Mangel. 



This magnificent Sugar Beet, while giving nearly as large a yield 

 of easily grown and harvested roots as a crop of Mangels, supplies 

 a food of very much higher nutritive value, the roots for feeding 

 purposes being really more valuable, pound for pound, than those 

 of the very best strains of Sugar Beet, and the yield under equally 

 favorable conditions being more than double. Pkts. 5c and 10c.

Culture. Sow 5 pounds to the acre in April or June, in rows 

 3 feet apart, and thin to 9 inches in the row. Cultivate frequently 

 with horse tools and you will have an abundant crop of roots for 

 Winter use. 



1151. New Jumbo Mangel. For milch cows and cattle 

 generally the new Jumbo Mangel has no equal. It is a milk pro- 

 ducer of the highest quality and at the same time keeps the cattle 

 over Winter in prime condition. It will outyield any other Mangel 

 two to one. It is easy to grow. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c. 34 Lb'

1152. The Gate Post Mangel. The name indicates the im- 

 mense size of this fine flavored Mangel. Among the Yellow Mangel 

 it stands supreme. The milk it produces when fed to cows is of the 

 richest character. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c. 34 Lb. 20c. Lb. 50c. 



1154. Improved Golden Tankard Mangel. We recom- 

 medn it as the best Mangel by far for dairy farmers. It combines 

 apparently all the fine points possible to condense into a Mangel. 

 The color is a deep, rich yellow. The flesh is firm and solid and a 

 rich, golden yellow in color. Pkts. oc and 10c. Oz. 10c. 34 Lb. 15c.

 is a great improvement on the old variety. The roots are very 

 large, uniformly straight and well formed. Color deep red, roots 

 solid, tops small. Roots attain a large size. We received several 

 reports last season of Mangels weighing 20 to 23 pounds each. 

 Produces an immense bulk and tonnage. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 10c .

 considered in Denmark as the best of all Mangels, after having 

 been awarded a first-class certificate ofi'ered by the Danish Gov- 

 ernment. It is of a distinct type, long, about 13 to 14 inches, and 

 of a rich Orange yellow color, very hardy, which grows well above 

 the ground, and is easily harvested. A variety which contains a 

 very large percentage of nutriment. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. lOe. ^
