Giant Feeding Sugar 
or Half Sugar Mangel complished so much 
with the Sugar Beet, 
there has been established in the Giant Feeding Sugar a strain of 
beets which, 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 are really more 
valuable, pound for pound, than those of the very best strains of sugar 
beet and the yield under equally favorable conditions is more than 
double. The roots are light bronze green, grow partly out of the 
ground and because of this and their shape the crop can be har- 
vested and stored easily and at less expense than any other root crop. 
Jumbo Mangel 
An extra large, yellow fleshed mangel between the 
Tankard and Sludstrup types. Excellent quality, 
having the added feature of carrying its large size 
almost its full length, and at the same time growing 
well out of the ground thus being easy to harvest. 
How Our Mangels Yield 
“The Mammoth Long Red Mangel Seed I purchased from your 
agent last season I must say did remarkably will — in fact I 
never saw the like of that field. I had no small mangels at al' 
and two-thirds of them were very large and how they came tr 
grow so large 1 do not know as I gave them no extra labor 
They were scuffled only twice and thinned and that is all the'' 
got and I fully believe if 1 had given them any extra care J 
could have had two-thirds of the field weighing 50 lbs. each, as- 
they were very large. The heaviest I had was 43 lbs., and J 
think the seed had quite a bit to do with it as there were no 
other mangels in this neighborhood that grew so large as the’’ 
did and it was a very dry year. I had a wagon load of mangel 1 " 
weighing over 30 pounds each. 
MANGEL WURZEL BEET 
Specimens of the Improved Long Red Mangel have been grown 
which weighed upwards of 50 pounds each. Has produced 
the largest yields of any Mangel. 
Improved Mammoth Long Red A " improve- 
° ment on the 
old variety. The roots are very large, uniformly straight and well 
formed, proportionally thicker, and are deeper colored than the com- 
mon sort and with smaller tops. We know our stock of this variety 
will produce the largest and finest roots which can be grown and 
that it is vastly superior to many strains of the same sort offered 
under other names. 
Golden Tankard 
Tops comparatively small ; 
with yellow stems and mid- 
ribs ; neck very small ; roots 
top and bottom so as to approach a cylindrical form. Flesh yellow^'zoned with white 1 
A great improvement and worthy of use on every farm. 
Sludstrup 
Mangel 
The Agricultural trial 
stations of Denmark have 
awarded to the Sludstrup 
Mangel the “Certificate of 
First-Class.” Tested 
beside other leading sorts 
the Sludstrup was found 
to give a greater yield of 
dry substance than any 
other sort. The roots arc 
long-ovoid in shape, of a 
reddish-yellow color, grow 
to an enormous size, are 
very rank in growth and 
give a tremendous yield. 
On account of the high 
percentage of dry matter 
in the Sludstrup Mangel 
it is fast taking first place 
for stock feeding through- 
out Denmark. 
SLUDSTRUP 
BROCCOLI 
Although origin- 
ating from a very 
distinct type, the 
modern improved sorts of Broccoli can scarcely 
be distinguished from cauliflower, the points of 
difference being that they are generally taller and 
the heads more divided. The culture is the same 
in all essential particulars as that given for 
cauliflower. 
Broccoli is grown most successfully where the 
season is long, cool and rather moist. One of the 
most valuable features is that it withstands greater 
extremes of temperature than cauliflower. 
Early Large White French 
The best variety. Heads white, very compact 
and hard, continuing firm for a long time. A 
hardy, vigorous, easily grown sort. 
Brussels Sprouts 
Improved Half Dwarf 
The plants which are very hardy grow Brussels sprouts 
two or three feet high and produce from 
the sides of the stalk numerous little sprouts which resemble very 
small cabbages, one or two inches in diameter. 1 he leaves should 
be broken down in the Fall to give the little heads more room to 
grow. They should be treated in all respects like winter cabbage or 
kale. We offer a carefully grown strain, very hardy and giving com- 
pact, round sprouts of large size and good quality.
