IMPROVED GOLDEN TANKARD 
We have for years insisted that this was the best Mangel grown, and each season 
strengthens us in the position we took when It was a comparatively unknown sort. 
We recommend it unqualifiedly as the best Mangel by far for dally farmers. It com- 
bines 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. On 
account of its shape, enormous crops are grown, and it is easily lifted from the 
ground. Ounce, 5 cents; yi pound, 12 cents; % pound, 22 cents; pound, 40 cents.

and other stock. Ounce, 4 cents; % pound, 12 cents; K pound, 22 cents; pound, 40 cents.

sized, globe-shaped, having a small tiip and few side roots; skin, deep orange-yellow 
in color; flesh white and of excellent quality. The root grows almost entirely above

to eight inches in the row. 
KLEIN WANZLEBEN 
This variety at the present time has probably a wider cultivation than any other 
Sugar Beet. It may be distinguished from the Vilmorin by its brighter color and its 
lightly colored leaves, which are beautifully undulating, and scalloped about the edges. 
While not, as a rule, equal to the Vilmorin in saccharine richness, it Is considerably 
more productive. Ounce, 4 cents; pound, 12 cents; pound, 22 cents: pound, 40 cents. 
VILMORIN'S IMPROVED WHITE 
Of medium size and brought by careful selection 
to the highest perfection, both in shape and color 
of roots. Greatly esteemed by sugar manufacturers, 
and one of the finest for stock feeding, owing to the 
high percentage of sugar. Ounce, 4 cents; pound, 
10 cents; % pound, 18 cents; pound, 35 cents. 
GIANT FEEDING SUGAR BEET, OR 
HALF 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. The roots grow 
lartly out of the ground, and because of this and their shape, the crop can be 
harvested and stored at less expense than any other root crop. We are centain that 
every one who plants this variety and grows it with care will be much pleased 
with the crop. ICvery farmer should try it. Ounce, 5 cents; 14 pound, 15 cents; 
yi pound, 28 ci nts; pound, 50 cents.
