^SUMMER IS THE TIME TO SOW^^gfl 



MANGELS. 



The best soil for Mangels is loose, friable loam and deep plowing. If 

 expedient follow the plow with a subsoil plow, and the crop will more than 

 repay the extra trouble. The ground should be well enriched, and the seed 

 sown in drills 24 inches apart in light soils, and 30 inches apart in strong rich 

 land. Thin out the plants with a hoe to 9 inches apart in the former, and 12 

 inches apart in the latter. 6 to 8 pounds of seed are used per acre if sown with 

 a drill, or double that quantity if sown by hand. Cultivate with a horse hoe. 



If by mail in quantities of % lb. and over, add for postage at the rate of 

 8 cents per pound. 



Henderson's Colossal 



Long Red. — The roots are smooth 

 and regular, of the largest size and 

 blood red color. The quality is exceed 

 ingly nutritious, and in all respects this 

 variety is most distinct and valuable. 

 (See cut.) 15c. per X lb- ! 40C per lb. 



Henderson's Giant Inter- 

 mediate. — This is a variety between 

 the Golden Tankard and Yellow Globe. 

 It is larger than the Tankard, not such a 

 rich golden color, but a heavier cropper. 

 20c. per }( lb.; 50c. per lb. 



Golden Tankard.— The flesh is 



bright golden yellow, and in this respect 

 differs from most other varieties which 

 cut white. The Golden Tankard is an 

 exceedingly popular variety in Great 

 Britain, where it is considered particu- 

 larly valuable on account of its nutritious 

 and milk producing qualities. Sheep 

 have a preference for this sort over other 

 Mangels; it is said that they will pick out 

 every piece of Golden Tankard before 

 touching others. It yields under the best 

 cultivation 50 tons per acre. (See cut.) 

 15c. per }( lb.; 40c. per lb. 



Long Yellow.— Differs from the 

 Long Red only in color. 15c. per % lb.; 

 45c. per lb. 



HENDERSON S COLOSSAL LONG 

 RED MANGEL. 



White. — Attains a large size, 

 and is extensively grown for feeding; largely cultivated in France for 

 the manufacture of sugar. 15 c. per % lb. ; 40c, per lb. 



Vilmorin's Improved White. — A greatly improved variety 

 of the preceding, and containing a greater percentage of sugar. 20c. 

 per % lb. ; 50c. per lb. 



I raised over 100 tons of your Colossal Long Red Mangel on 2 acres. In many cases 

 three weighed over 100 lbs., the best crop I ever saw on an average, either in this 

 country or in England, and I have farmed in both countries. — John Hodgson, 

 Crystal Lake Farm, Paterson, N. J. 



Those Colossal Red Mangels of yours are fine, and give more feed to the acre than 

 anything else I know of. They make a grand winter feed for all kinds of btock. — 

 John W. Noble, Grenoble Stock Farm, Metuchen, N. J. 



We have always grown your Colossal Long Red Mangel, and we simply cannot run 

 a winter dairy without them. Silo or no Silo, the Beets make the milk. — H. Bewlay, 

 Lexington, Ky.
