Mangel=Wurzel and Sugar Cattle Beets 
V e strongly recommend the Mangels and Sugar Beets for feeding to cattle, sheep and swine. The 
roots grow to a very large size. Make a much heavier yield than Turnips, and are more nutritious and 
fattening for food during the winter, largely increasing the yield of milk in cows. They can be grown at 
trifling cost. The seed should he sown any time during April or May, in rows 21 to 3 feet apart, at the 
rate of five to six pounds per acre. When the plants are two or three inches high, thin or cut out with 
the hoe to 10 or 12 inches apart in the row. The roots should be harvested before frost and stored in 
pits or cellars.

grown in same field, with same cultivation. We believe this specimen to be the largest Mungel ever grown in America. 
The Chirk Castle Mangel=Wurzel Beet 
Our attention was first called to this prodigious variety while visiting Scotland some years ago, 
where we saw hundreds of specimens taken from the field, weighing from fifty to sixty lbs. each, 
while whole crops averaged thirty-eight to forty lbs. per root, producing a yield of over sixty tons to 
the acre. The length is but little longer than Improved Mammoth Long Red, hut it is remarkable 
for its handsome, thick, uniform shape and very broad shoulders, its diameter being greater 
and its weight very much heavier. The flesh is deep-colored red, of very fine texture and quality, 
containing less water and more sugar than any other Mangel, making it more nutritious and milk-pro¬ 
ducing. Sheep also thrive better when fed on it, picking out pieces of it in preference to other kinds. 
We consider this and Taber’s Gate Post, described on next page, by far the most valuable and 
profitable of all the stock-feeding beets. The tops are smaller and it is such a shy seeder than the seed 
cannot he grown as cheaply as other Mangels. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; i lb., 26c.; lb., 75c., postpaid ; lb., 
65c.; 5 lbs. (enough for one acre), $3.00, by freight or express.
