MANGEL WURZEL, AND 

 SUGAR BEETS. 



Mangels have become a most popular crop with the farmers 

 of this country, who are learning by experience that they are 

 the cheapest feed they can give their cattle during the long 

 winter months, and besides that they keep the cattle in fine, 

 healthy condition. Sow 10 days before corn planting time, 

 6 to 6 pounds to the acre. The prices quoted lor one 

 pound, or less, include payment of postage by us. 

 Write for special prices on large quantities. 



NEW GOLDEN TANKARD YEL- 

 LOW FLESHED MANGEL. 



This distinct vari- 

 ety of mangel has 

 proven itself to be a 

 most important addi- 

 tion to the list of 

 Btock-feediug roots, 

 it is much preferred 

 by stock to any other 

 Bort. In England it 

 is considered indis- 

 pensable for dairy 

 farming, large dairy 

 farmers claiming 

 that they can obtain 

 a much higher price 

 for milk from cows 

 fed on this mangel. 

 They contain more 

 sugar and less water 

 than any variety 

 grown, 'have more 

 milk-producing and 

 nutritious qualities, 

 and, owing to pecu- 

 liar shape, can be 

 left close in the rows, 

 which makes them 

 one of the heaviest of 

 croppers. It is a rich 

 deep yellow in color, 

 and far superior to 

 the Yellow Ovid, of 

 which it is an im- 

 proved selection; is 

 very hardy and one 

 of the earliest to ma- 

 ture. Cows and sheep 

 fed on this variety 

 thrive much better ■ 

 than on any other' 

 kind. We recom- 

 mend all who plant 

 mangels to sow this 

 variety. Per pkt,

 ILANE'S IMPROVED IMPERIAL SUGAR. This is 

 by far more hardy, more productive and of finer quality than 

 the French Sugar Beet. It not only contains a much larger 

 percentage of sugar, but it is in every way an improvement 

 on the older varieties. Itis the very best sort for feeding cows, 

 sheep or swine, and has yielded from 30 to 40 tons per acre at 

 an average cost of 5 cents per bushel, making it a most valu- 

 able vegetable for the stock farmer. They grow to a large 

 Bize and are quite perfect in sha^r-^. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 

 cts.; 341b., 15 cts.; lb., 40 cts. By express or freight, 5 lbs. or 

 over at 25 cts. per lb.

 fine, nutritious qualities, globular in shape, and orange yellow 

 in color. It is of handsome form, neat top, fine, clear skin, 

 and does well on light land. Grows partly above ground.

 best varieties of Yellow Globe Mangels and possesses many 

 distinctive features. The skin and flesh are very smooth and

 stock. It has made over 80 tons to the acre and many speci- 

 mens have been grown to weigh 45 pounds each. Per pkt., &

 5 lbs, or over at 25 cts. per lb. 



IMPROVED 

 MAMMOTH PRIZE 

 LONG RED MAN- 

 GEL. This variety 

 has produced from 60 

 to 70 tons of roots per i 

 acre and is the heaviest ' 

 cropper of all the long 

 mangels. Single roots 

 have weighed from 25 

 to 35 pounds each, and 

 always of the very finest 

 texture and best qual- 

 ity. It is a most valu- 

 able variety for stock 

 feeding, and cannot be 

 too highly prized. It 

 is noted for the broad 

 slioulder and massive 

 shape of root, by which 

 great weight is obtain- 

 ed without the coarse- 

 ness found in unim- 

 proved strains. Speci- 

 mens have been exhib- 

 ited weighing over 50 

 pounds, and although 

 attaining such great 

 weight their fineness of 

 quality remained un- 

 impaired. The great 

 difliculty heretofore has 

 been to obtain true 

 and reliable seed, 

 but by careful selection 

 we can inform our 

 friends that our stock 

 has made a most per- 

 fect test, and will in all 

 respects meet their 

 wants. Per pkt, 5 cts.; 

 oz., 10 cts. lb ,15 cts.; 

 lb., 35 cts., postpaid. 

 By express or freight, 5 

 lbs. or over at 25 cts.
