MANGEL WURZEL 
The Mangel Wurzel, also called Mangel, Cattle Beet and Field 
Beet, may be grown in almost any soil, but deep loams are neces- 
sary for heavy yields of the long varieties. When well grown the 
roots give an immense yield of very valuable food for stock. 
Plant early in spring in drills two to two and one-half feet apart, 
and about one inch apart in the row, covering with about one 
and one-half inches of fine soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate 
frequently. When about three inches high begin thinning and 
continue at intervals until the roots stand about ten inches apart. 
1910. Carters Improved Mammoth Long Red. The largest and most productive 
of all the long red sorts. It is smooth skinned and fine grained, and very 
regular in size. Pkt. 5c., 1 oz. 15c., 1 lb. $1.00. 
1915. Carters Red Emperor. A heavy cropping intermediate variety, with high 
feeding value, density of flesh, digestible solids, and keeping qualities. Its 
rich, solid flesh renders Carters Red Emperor a valuable Mangel for stock 
raisers who require the maximum bulk of feed. Pkt. 5c., 1 oz. 16c., 1 lb. $1.00. 
1920. Carters Dreadnought. This, is a fine type of the intermediate oval-shaped 
Yellow Mangel, possessing a small top and fine shoulder. It withstands the 
drought, and from its peculiar habit this variety may be set closer in rows 
than other sorts. Pkt. 5c., 1 oz. 15c., 1 lb. $1.00. 
1925. Carters Windsor. A big improvement on any of "the yellow-flesh Globe 
Mangels. It grows such a clean root, free from fangs, and with a small 
top, that the crop is easily pulled. This Mangel is capable of producing 
from 90 to 120 tons per acre. We recommend it as the best all-round variety 
where only one sort is grown. Carters Windsor is well-known to be the 
best Yellow Globe Mangel in cultivation. Pkt. 6c., 1 oz. 15c., 1 lb. $1.00. 
1930. Lord Warden. A deep orange Globe Mangel which grows to an immense 
size, is extremely hardy, very suitable for cold soils and will produce enorrnous 
crops. Pkt. 6c., 1 oz. 16c. , 1 lb. $1.00. 
1850. Giant Half-Sugar. The upper portion is of a soft bright pink, shading 
lighter toward the bottom, where the lower portion for albout one-third the 
length is white. The flesh is pure white, firm and very sweet. Pkt. 5c., 
oz. 16c., lb. $1.00. 
1852. Giant Yellow Intermediate. Between the long and globe sorts in shape, 
skin yellow, flesh white with yellow zones. Better than longer kinds for 
shallow soils. Pkt. 5c., oz. 15c., lb. $1.00. 
GOLDEN TANKARD MANGEL 
Contains more elements of saccharine than most other sorts. Many leading 
dairymen prefer to sacrifice yield to secure nutriment, as it increases the flow 
of milk to a remarkable degree. 
The roots are handsome, of an ideal cylindrical form, with small neck, clean, 
generally with only one tap-root, and can easily be harvested, and are 
excellent keepers. The skin is light gray and deep orange below the ground ; 
the flesh is a bright yellow. Pkt. 6c., oz. 15c., lb. $1.00.

SUGAR BEET 
The Sugar Beets are desirable not only for sugar making but are valuable for stock feeding 
and when small may be used for the table. The best soil is a rich, friable, sandy, or clayey loam. 
Rich, mucky soils will often give an immense yield of roots which, though excellent for feed, are 
of little value for sugar making. 
Plant early in spring in drills two to two and one-half feet apart and about one inch apart in 
the row, covering with about one and one-half inches of 
fine soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate frequently. When 
about three inches high begin thinning and continue at 
intervals until the roots stand about ten inches apart. 
2000. Klein Wanzleben. More extensively grown than any other variety 
for making sugar ; used almost exclusively by all sugar factories. The 
average yield is from 15 to 20 tons per acre with about 18 per cent, 
of sugar. Our seed is pedigree stock, producing roots testing highest 
in sugar content. Pkt. 5c., oz. 15., lb. $1.26. 
2010. Vilmorin’s Improved. One of the richest sorts in sugar content. 
The tops are of medium size, with smooth, bright green leaves. The 
roots ai'e of medium size, similar in appearance to Jaensch's Victrix, 
with white flesh and often yield from ten to sixteen tons per acre, 
Pkt. 5c., oz. 15c., lb. $1.00. 
2015. Carters Improved White Sugar Beet. A superior variety of the 
Continental Sugar Beet. Pkt. 5c., 1 oz. 20c., 1 lb. $1.50. 
BROCCOLI 
This vegetable resembles Cauliflower, but is much hardier. 
Start in the house, or hot bed very 
early and transplant to open garden 
as soon as the ground can be worked. 
2130. Veitch’s Self-protecting. Early variety 
with good heading qualities and very hardy. 
Pkt. 10c., 1 oz. 60c.
