BEETS AND MANGELS

sow as early in the spring as ground can be properly cultivated. These supply that goes into the cellar for winter. 1 oz. of seed will plant a 50-foot 
may be ^rown in rows as close as 18 inches. 
Gurney’s Early Model Globe 
TABLE BEETS 
Gurney’s Early Model Globe 
The Model Globe Beet is medium early, always 
even in size, color and shape. A number of newer 
varieties have been offered since we offered the 
Model Globe, but they have never equalled this 
beet in the trial grounds or in the field. One of the 
most satisfactory uses of the Model Globe Beet 
is for pickling purposes, using them when they 
are about 1 inches through. They retain their 
color and are of excellent quality. Pkt., 8c; oz., 
15c; !4 lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 1 lb., 75c. 
Improved Early Egyptian 
We consider this the best first early beet of all 
the standard varieties. Best for forcing, best for 
first out door planting, roots very dark red, 
rounded on top, flat underneath. Small tops, 
which allow close planting. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
14 lb., 20c; Yz lb., 35c; I lb., 60c. 
Crosby’s Egyptian 
The tops are small. The roots are globe 
shaped and very smooth. The flesh of our strain 
is bright vermilion-red, zoned with a lighter 
shade, very sweet, tender and of excellent qual¬ 
ity. This is one of the best for early planting 
outdoors and is much used for bunching. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Detroit Dark Red Turnip 
A grand beet for bunching for'market; tops are 
exceedingly small and uniformly upright; roots 
are perfect turnip shape, with small tap roots. 
The principal fault with most Turnip Beets is 
the occasional appearance of white rings, and 
this will be found has been overcome by careful 
selection of the deepest red beets. Quality is the 
very best; sweet and tender. Gardeners can 
safely plant it largely. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 
20c; 14 lb., 35c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Extra Early Eclipse 
An excellent sort; about as early as the 
Egyptian but we consider it better because it is 
larger and of much finer quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 20c; 14 lb., 35c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Edmand’s Early Blood Turnip 
The very best sort for general crop. In qual¬ 
ity one of the finest; exceedingly dark; shape 
globular, having one tap root. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 20c; 14 lb., 35c; 1 lb., 60c. 
lant the seed 2 inches row, 7 lbs. to the acre.

Sugar Beets and Mangels 
For Winter Feed 
The food value in root crops is high and every¬ 
one should plant a sufficient acreage so that the 
hogs and chickens could have a supply every day 
until they can get on to the green pastures next 
spring. It is not unusual to produce 25 ton of 
mangels or carrots to the acre. Plant a sufficient 
quantity so that the milch cows can get their 
share and you will increase the flow 25%. Plant 
7 lbs. seed per acre. 
Dear Sirs: July 31, 1933 
Will you please mail me your fall catalog 
as I would like to soon start selecting the 
fall bulbs and plants that I am planning on 
buying from your nursery. 
I bought one of your bulb and flower col¬ 
lections as advertised over the radio and 
cannot express my thanks for such a nice 
collection. It was worth many times more 
than the four dollars I invested. My collec¬ 
tion of fifty Gladioli that I received are just 
starting to bloom and are simply gorgeous. 
I never saw such large beautiful blooms ever 
before and each bulb has put up at least two 
shoots, most of them four. Most of them 
are at least three feet high and everyone that 
sees them think they are wonderful. The 
Dahlias 1 received in this same collection are 
also very nice, just starting to bloom. I 
just cannot express enougli praise on that 
collection but you may be sure that I will 
be a real booster for your nursery goods and 
a customer for life of The House of Gurney. 
Thank you most sincerely and 1 only hope 
that you have continued success as I am 
sure you will have considering the fine grade 
of goods you put out. 
Mrs. Wm. H. Wilcox. 
SUGAR BEETS 
White Klein Wanzelben Sugar Beet—This 
variety has proved to be a very valuable sort, 
not only in foreign countries, but as well in 
Colorado and other sections of this country, 
where it has been thoroughly tested. It has a 
rather long, slender root, very rich in sugar, and 
grows deeply sunk in the ground and it is claimed 
to yield under average conditions about sixteen 
tons to the acre, containing 12 to 13 percent of 
sugar. 1 oz., 7c; Yz lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., 
$1.50. 
MANGELS 
Giant Half Sugar Rose 
As its name implies, this is a half sugar beet. 
Roots of much greater nutritive value than 
mangels. Yield nearly as large as the best of the 
mangels. Roots grow about one-half out of the 
ground, and are conveniently harvested. 1 oz., 
7c; )4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.60. 
Danish Sludstrup 
This most wonderful Mangel has been award¬ 
ed a first class certificate several times by the 
Danish Government, which is the highest honor 
attained in Agricultural circles in Denmark. 
Sludstrup is a long reddish yellow root, but 
not so long as the Mammoth long red. It grows 
more above the ground and is very easily harvest¬ 
ed. Under favorable conditions they frequently 
attain a weight of fifteen lbs. each. 1 oz., 7c; 
14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.60. 
Mammoth Long Red 
The roots are very large, uniformly straight 
and well formed and comparatively thicker than 
the common sort. The flesh is white tinged with 
rose. This strain under careful culture is 
enormously productive. Our stock will produce 
the largest and finest roots which can be grown 
for feeding stock and is vastly superior to many 
strains offered under other names, such as 
Norbitan Giant, Colossal, Monarch, etc. 1 oz., 7c; 
i4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.60.
