MANGEL-BEETS {F F ° r JJ°$ 
CULTURE. Sow six pounds to the acre in May or 
June, in rows three feet apart, and thin to nine inches 
in the row. Freezing injures Beet plants. Therefore, 
seed should not be sown until the ground is warm and 
the weather fully settled. 
Shallow planting is desirable because the seed germinates 
more quickly and a larger proportion will make vigorous 
plants than when planted deeply. Deeper planting will 
be required on sand lands or when the soil is dry. Culti¬ 
vation should begin within a day or two from planting. 
The immense yield which may be secured from an acre, 
with very little expense either for material or labor, 
makes the mangel crop one of the most profitable on 
the farm. 15 to 20 tons of roots an acre is not an un¬ 
usual yield; some specimens weigh 20 to 30 lbs. each. 
When fed in combination with grain they are worth 
almost as much, pound for pound, as the grain. Ex¬ 
perience has proved that mangels so aid digestion and 
assimilation, by keeping the animals in a healthy condi¬ 
tion, that they increase the feeding value of other feeds 
consumed beside the nutrients the roots contain. Man¬ 
gels, when fed to cows, materially increase the flow of 
milk. 
Imp. Mammoth Long Red 
Is a selection of the very best 
type of long red mangel. The 
roots are extra large, straight, 
uniform in size and of a deep red 
color. They grow very large, 
some weighing as much as 15 to 
20 pounds apiece, and yielding 
15 to 20 tons to the acre. Our 
Improved Mammoth Long Red is 
the best Mangel for poultry feed¬ 
ing. 
Giant Red Eckendorf 
This variety is raised extensively 
in Europe where root crops are 
grown on a much larger scale, 
and has also become very pop¬ 
ular in the United States since 
being introduced here. The roots 
are red in color, smooth, long 
and cylinder shaped. They grow 
to enormous size, weighing up to 
16 and 20 pounds each. The flesh 
is Arm and of high feeding qual¬ 
ity. 
Giant Yellow Eckendorf 
Is very similar to the Red Eck¬ 
endorf, excepting that the color 
is yellow. A fine variety In 
every way. 
Mammoth Golden Giant 
Grows very large, yet It has a 
very fine, even shape and smooth 
skin. Flesh is white, firm and 
sweet. Cattle are very fond of 
them. In spite of the size they 
are easily lifted from the ground. 
Gould’s Reliable Sludstrup Barres 
Has been recognized by the Danish Government as hav¬ 
ing the largest per cent of nutriment found in any sort. 
It is of a reddish yellow color, is very hardy and grows 
well above ground, making it easy to pull. 
Golden Tankard 
As its name denotes it is of tankard shape and is very 
desirable for dairy stock feeding. It combines all the 
fine points possible to condense into a mangel. The skin 
is a deep rich yellow, flesh firm and solid and of a rich 
golden yellow color. 
Giant Feeding Half Sugar 
Is a very large growing sugar beet. A heavy yielder, 
an excellent feeder, but is not fit for sugar production. 
Yields nearly as heavy as do other mangels, but supplies 
for stock feeding a food of very much higher nutritive 
value. A most excellent feed for all kinds of stock and 
poultry.

Golden Acre Cabbage 
\ r> T~> K T7 1 —Listed According 
to Earliness 
Cabbage require rich soli, and they take a greater per¬ 
centage of food from the soil than most other garden 
crops. It is advisable to use about 500 pounds of 6-16-9 
or other high grade commercial fertilizer per acre, broad- 
po qf hpffirA nl s n f I ri P" 
CULTURE FOR EARLY CABBAGE. Seed of the early 
varieties should be sown 94 of an inch deep in a green¬ 
house, hotbed, or in boxes in the house, about 6 weeks 
before the plants are needed for planting out. 
If, when the second leaves appear, the plants can be 
transplanted, spacing them 3 inches apart, better and 
more hardy plants will be obtained. 
As soon as the soil can be worked In the Spring the 
plants should be removed to the open field and set In rows 
2 feet apart each way. Cultivate occasionally to keep 
out weeds and preserve the moisture in the soil until the 
plants shade the ground. One-fourth lb. of seed will 
produce plants for one acre. 
CULTURE FOR LATE CABBAGE. The seed may be 
sown in rows 1 foot apart or broadcast in the garden, 
about the middle of May, and the plants set in the field 
fhe latter part of June. 
Cultivation must begin as soon as the plants are set in the 
field, and continued as long as it is possible to get through 
them with a cultivator without injury to the plants. 
Early Jersey Wakefield 
The earliest cabbage grown. Heads are very solid and 
conical in shape with very few outside leaves, which per¬ 
mits closer planting. 
Golden Acre* 
An early round head variety of the Copenhagen Market 
type, which heads up a full week to ten days ahead of 
Copenhagen. This excellent variety heads very uniform¬ 
ly producing a hard head which does not burst easily and 
which stands shipment well. This is one of the most 
valuable contributions to our list of cabbage varieties 
which has been made in recent years. 
Marion Market* 
This is one of the Wisconsin Experiment Stations latest 
contributions to the field of disease resistant cabbages. 
It is a selection from Copenhagen Market, is very resist¬ 
ant to cabbage yellows; round head and of high quality.
