I_ STUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED SEEDS | 
ROOT-CROPS FOR STOCK-FEEDING 
We recommend strongly to the cattle breeder, dairy farmer, and poultry raiser, Mangels, Carrots and Ruta¬ 
bagas. A palatable, easily stored, easily digested, and nutritious food is yielded in large quantities per acre. They 
stimulate the flow of milk of high grade; their cultivation ensures the thorough cleaning of the land; and they 
may be stored into the winter in root-cellars or outdoor “pits” with but httle trouble. 
COW BEET or MANGEL-WURZEL 
SUGAR BEET 
CATTLE CARROT 
Culture. —Sow in drills during May or June, about 2 feet apart; 
thin out to 9 to 12 inches in the rows. The long varieties are best 
suited to a deep soil, and the globe sorts succeed better than the long 
sorts on shallow land. 6 to 8 pounds are required for one acre. 
Mammoth Long Red. Jhis is the giant among 
— ■■■' ■ - Mangels, and the variety 
most frequently grown. The roots are of enormous size, very 
uniform in shape, smooth and clean, with but small top growth. 
The skin is bright, rich red, and under favorable growing con¬ 
ditions the roots may reach a length of 3 feet. Ordinary strains 
of long Mangels grow so deeply into the ground and their 
roots branch to such an extent that their harvesting is a 
problem, but our Mammoth Long Red grows from one-half 
to two-thirds out of the ground, hence the roots may be pulled 
with moderate effort. The maximum tonnage per acre is pro¬ 
duced by this variety. Oz. 15 cts., Vilh. 40 cts., lb. 95 cts., 
10 lbs. $8. 
Champion Yellow Globe, Occupies the same posi- 
^ - - — tion among Mangels as 
the Jersey cow does among cattle in that the roots are of only 
moderate size but of high quality. The skin is a rich, deep 
yellow; the flesh is fine, white, and solid, highly nutritious 
and palatable to stock. Not only does its shape lend itself to 
easy lifting, but two-thirds of the root grows above ground, 
hence it is a good variety where the soil is shallow. Its feeding 
value is high and it is a good keeper, *^lb. 40 cts., lb. $1, 10 lbs. $9. 
Pedi^feed Ideal Forty years of patient breeding has so increased 
- ° the sugar and dry matter in Pedigreed Ideal 
Mangel that it contains 50 per cent more than ordinary roots. It is 
formed like a cylinder, grows high out of the ground, and has but a 
single tap-root. It may thus be lifted at harvest-time with little effort, . r'l k 
and it is suitable for growing in shallow soils. The root has a yellow skin, Champion Yellow _ Globe. A re¬ 
covering flesh which is white, crisp, and with a flavor that is exactly fined type, of convenient shape and 
what stock desire: it is high in vitamines and its use promotes an in- high nutritive value, 
creased flow of untainted milk. 55 cts., lb. $1.50,10 lbs. $12.50. 
Barre’s Sludstrup. Long, ovoid, reddish yellow root of high quality, y^lh. 40 cts., lb. $1, 10 lbs. $g. 
Golden Tankard. Cylindrical shape; fine yellow flesh. Klb. 40 cts., lb. $1, 10 lbs. $9. 
Mammoth Long Golden. A nutritious yellow kind, similar in shape to the Mammoth Long Red. ^Ib. 
40 cts., lb. $1, 10 lbs. $9. 
Hall-Sugar Rose. Combines the best qualities of the Mangel and the Sugar Beet. A long root with white 
flesh, pink skin at top and white at bottom. ><lb. 30 cts., lb. 85 cts., 10 lbs. $8. 
Mammoth Long Red. The 
Giant among Mangels 
Klein Wanzleben. This variety is cultivated on a 
——— larger scale than any other Sugar 
Beet. Root is conical, straight and even, large at top and 
rapidly tapering. Contains a heavy percentage of saccharine 
matter. Oz. 15 cts., V^lh. 40 cts., lb. $1, 10 lbs. $9. 
RUTABAGA (Russian or Swedish Turnip) 
Sow 4 pounds to the acre, in June, in drills 2 feet apart 
ImnTnvpri American Purnle-Too. ^ particularly fine type of Rutabaga with red 
improveg American 1 urpie xup. almost spherical in shape, 
and in consequence is easily lifted. V^lb. 45 cts., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. $11. 
S. & W. Co.’s Long Island Improved. This special strain of Rutabaga is of a remarkably 
uniform shape and fine quality, and is also a splendid keeper. It grows to a large size, and 
the flesh is yellow and fine-grained. 45 cts., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. In. 
Carrots are very valuable for all kinds of domestic animals, and are better for horses than 
any other root-crop. Sow 4 pounds to the acre, from the middle of May to July i. 
Mammoth White Belgian. 
The root is-about 16 inches long, a quarter of which is 
above ground. The skin is white below and is greenish 
where it grows above ground. Its narrow shape enables it to be grown closely together in rows 
with profit, and its yield is therefore enormous. cts., lb. $1, 10 lbs. $9.
