MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR CATTLE BEETS 
CHIRK CASTLE MANGEL-WURZEL BEET 
Remarkable for its handsome, thick, uniform shape 
and very broad shoulders, its diameter being greater and 
its weight much heavier than Mammoth Long Red, as shown 
in our photograph above. Flesh is deep red, containing les 3 
water and more sugar than any other Mangel, making it more 
nutritious and milk-producing. Sheep also thrive better 
when fed on it, picking out pieces of it in preference to other 
kinds. It was originated in Scotland, where it has been known 
to produce 60 tons to the acre. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.: \ lb., 20c.; 
lb., 60c., postpaid; by freight or express, lb., 50c.; 5 lbs. 
(anough for one acre), $2.26; 10 lbs. and over at 40c. per lb. 
GIANT FEEDING SUGAR MANGEL BEET 
A new strain which, while giving as large a yield of easily 
grown and harvested roots as a crop of ordinary"Mangels, sup¬ 
plies a food richer in sugar and of very much higher nutritive 
value. Roots grow partly out of the ground, and because of 
this and their shape, the crop can be harvested and stored 
easily. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; £ lb., 20c.; lb., 60c., postpaid; by 
express, lb., 50c.; 5 lbs., $2.25. 
TABER’S GATE-POST 
The Largest and Best Yellow Mangel 
Originated by Mr. Taber, the prominent English seed 
grower. Since its introduction in England and in this country, 
a few years since, has rapidly popularized itself, and is pro¬

be grown. Its handsome, clean roots are very heavy, often 
weighing 40 pounds and over, and producing 2,000 to 2,500 
bushels to the acre. Our seed of this now famous sort is grown
