IMPORTANT. THE GREAT VALUE OP MANGELS FOR STOCK 
FEEDING The value of these for stock raising cannot be over-esti- 
mated, analysis having demonstrated the fact that 400 pounds of Man- 
gels are equivalent to 100 pounds of the best liay. During the past 
year crops of 1,500 to 2,000 bushels on one acre were raised in the 
state of Minnesota from seed obtained from us. Sow 12 to 15 pounds 
to the acre. Many seedsmen claim 4 to 6 pounds. In our experience 
we find the latter to be incorrect.

GIANT GOLDEN — (See cut.) This is an entirely distinct type of 
Mangel, of recent introduction, and highly prized wherever introduced. 
In England it is largely grown by dairymen and sheep raisers; the 
former prize it not only for its great yield, but for the rich character of 
the milk it produces, while the latter claim sheep fed on it thrive better 
and appear in much finer condition. Its wonderful yield and popular- 
ity in the old country certainly recommends it to every stock grower 
in America. The flesh is a light yellow and fine grained. Pkt. 5c, oz. 
10c, % lb. 15c, lb. 50c. By express or freight, 10 lb. lots, 35c per lb. 
GOLDEN TANKARD — (See cut.) Flesh a rich golden, and of great 
milk producing qualities. Pkt. 5e, oz. 10c, % lb. 15c, lb. 40c. By express 
or freight, 10 lb. lots, 25e per lb.

els per acre; valuable for dairymen or stock growers. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 
% lb. 15c, lb. 50c. By express or freight, 10 lb. lots, 35c per lb. 
MAY'S MAMMOTH LONG P^ED (See cut.) This is the finest strain 
of the Long Red ever offered. The mangels raised from our selected 
•seed are remarkable for their immense size (often weighing 30 to 50 
lbs. each} and freedom from the coarse grain so often found in the 
large varieties. If you want a big crop of fine mangels that will 
be a great benefit to your stock, increasing the flow of milk and 
fattening them, you can find nothing that will beat our Mammoth.
