Harris’ American Yellow Globe Mangel 
Wurzel'.—I have grown my own Mangel Wurzel seed for 
several years—selecting a few of the very best and choicest 
bulbs annually, from many thousand bushels. It is such 
seed as is rarely, if ever, offered for sale. It is wliat the 
seed-growers call “stock seed,” and costs at least three 
times as much to raise it as the best of ordinary seed. I can 
confidently recommend it. Price 75 cents a lb.; 4 lbs. for 
$2.50. Sent, pre-paid by mail. 10 lbs., or over, by express, 
at 50 cents per pound.
