The Mangel Wurzel, also called Mangel. Cattle Beet and Field Beet, may be grown 
in almost any soil, but deep loams are necessary for heavy yields of the long varieties. 
When well grown the roots give an immense yield of very valuable food for stock. 
?lant early in spring in drills two to two and one-half feet apart, and about one 
nch apart in the row, covering with about one and one-half inches of fine soil firmly 
»ssed down. Cultivate frequently. When about three inches high begin thinning 
ind continue at intervals until the roots stand about ten inches apart. 
• Desirable for stock feeding, affording not only 
Uiant r eeding Sugar tSeet a very large crop much easier to harvest than 
or Half Sucr^r IVTano^l other sorts but also having higher nutritive value, 
P s 6 being especially rich in sugar. The roots are light 
bronze green above ground, grayish white below, with white flesh. On account of 
growing partly out of the ground and the long ovoid shape the crop can be harves¬ 
ted and stored easily and at less expense than any other root crop. Pkt. 10c;

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 ’ 
Riant 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 firmlv 
pressed down. Cultivate frequently. When about three inches high begin thinning 
and continue at intervals until the roots stand about ten inches apart
