GURNEY’S AMERICAN GROWN BEETS AND MANGELS 
BEETS AND MANGELS FOR WINTER FEED WILL MAKE BIG EGG AND CREAM CHECKS 
CULTURE: The best soil for beets is a deep sandy loam, although they are easily grown and will do well in most any soil. For early beets plant 
as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, sowing a little later for the main crop. Winter beets should be planted about the 15th of June. 
Plant the seed about 1 inch deep and in rows 18 inches apart. Thin the plants to 3 inches in the row. One ounce of seed will plant 50 feet; 6 pounds 
to the acre. 
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 y 2 inches through. They retain their 
color and are of excellent quality. Pkt., 7c; oz.,

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. 
It is not unusual to produce 25 ton of mangels 
to the acre. Plant a sufficient quantity so that 
the milch cows can get their share and you will 
increase the flow 25%.

This variety has proved to be a very valuable 
sort, 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 
will yield under average conditions about sixteen 
tons to the acre, containing 12 to 13 percent of 
sugar. 1 oz., 7c; y 2 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs.,
