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, 
5 to 6 pounds to the acre. The prices quoted for one 
pound, or less, include payment of postage by us. 
Write for special prices cm 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 
sort. 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, owang to pecu- 
har shape, can be 
left close in the rows, 
which makes them 
one of the heaviest of 
croppers. It is a rich 
deep yeUow 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 ,

LANE'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 
size and are quite perfect in sha(>i. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 
cts.; 3^ lb., 15 cts.; lb., 40 cts. By express or freight, 5 lbs. or

IMPROVED 
MAM\IOTH PRIZE 
LONG RED MAN- 
GEL. This variety 
has produced from 60 
to 70 tons of roots per 
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 
shoulder 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 
difficulty 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.;
