GREAT VALUE OF HANQELS FOR 
rai.slng: cannot be 
the fact that 400 
pounds of Mangels are equivalent to too pounds of the best hay. 
During the past year crops of i,S"o to 2,000 bushels on one acre 
were raised in the State of Minnesota from seed obtained from us. 
They are not as lieavv yielders as Mangels, but contain a much 
larger percentage of .saccharine matter. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to 
the acre. Many seedsmen claim 4. to 6 pounds. In our experience 
(SeccBt.) TheTruckers Favorite. An extra 
of uniform size and handsome shape. A perfect variety

aiANT FEEDING OR HALF SUGAR MANGEL— This unites the large 
size of the mangel witll the greater feeding value of the sugar beet. 
The roots arc always regular and uniform, broad at the top with a 
full and otilv slightly tapering shotllder. Thcyraeasure five to six 
inches in diameter at broadest part, which is very near the top 
The roots slope gradually, the length averaging ten to twelve inches 
and the outline is that of a broad thick wedge. This smooth wedge- 
like form is of great advantage inharvcsting.asthcrootscanbe pull- 
ed easilv. The tipper portion is of a soft, 
bright pink coloring, shading lighter toward 
the bottom where the lower portion 
for .about one-third the length is white.
