BEETS FOR STOCK 
MANGEL WURZEL 
BEET 
When the Sugar Beet is planted for a sugar crop, from six to eight pounds of seed will be required 
for an acre. Seed may be sown in drills twenty to thirty inches apart. When beets are up two or three 
inches high, they should be thinned out so as to stand from six to eight inches apart, Piseontinue 
cultivation after formation of roots has commenced. Although Sugar Beets are grown principally for 
sugar-making and for stock-feeding, they are very desirable for table use, being more tender, sweeter, 
and of better flavor than any of the sorts grown for that purpose. Everyone should try them. 
Klein Wanzleben Sugar. This is a variety with small top-leaves and a conical root. It is 
being cultivated in Germany almost exclusively for sugar, on account of its great yield of saccharine 
matter. It gives good returns in any ordinary soil, and is easily harvested. Ounce, 5 cents;

I bought my Danish 
Cabbage Seed from you last

February from 7 % acres. I 
would like another pound of the 
same, the best that you have. 
Enclosed please find money order 
for $3.00 the price listed in your catalogue for the best. Send it as soon as possible, and oblige, 
Resp. yours,

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 
The Mangel Wurzels grow to a large size, are coarse and wonderfully productive, making excellent 
food for cattle. Those who have never tried the Mangels for stock have yet to learn of their great value 
for cattle, both for milk and meat. They are both juicy and refreshing, and add to the health and 
comfort of the animals. For field culture the rows should be wide enough to admit the horse cultivator, 
and the roots not nearer than one foot in the row. Sow five or six pounds of seed to the acre. When 
large quantities are required, write for special prices. 
Vick’s Mammoth Long Red. This is truly a mammoth, a single root often weighing twenty 
to thirty pounds. Enormously productive, yielding thirty to forty tons of roots per acre. They grow 
well above ground and are easily harvested. Our seed comes from a specialist in Europe and can be 
relied upon as superior to many of the so-called mammoth sorts, under the names of Colossal, Jumbo, 
Monarch, etc. Ounce, 5 cents; % lb.,-15 cents; lb., 35 cents. 
Vick S Golden Giant. Produces a larger crop than any other variety of Mangel. Root of 
magnificent size, growing with half its bulk above ground, making it easy to lift and gather. Root 
uniform in shape, with a smooth, russet yellow skin ; flesh white, firm and sweet, and greatly relished 
by cattle. A excellent keeper. Ounce, 5 cents ; \i lb., 15 cents ^ lb., 35 cents. 
Golden Tankard. A distinct variety, and particularly valuable on account of its richness in 
saccharine matter, and is highly prized by dairymen for its milk-producing qualities. All stock will 
thrive on it. Deep yellow flesh and skin. Ounce, 5 cents; % lb., 15 cents ; lb., 35 cents. 
Champion Yellow, or Orange Globe. The best round Mangel. Keeps better than Long 
Red for winter use. It is also more valuable for growing in shallow soils. Ounce, 5 cents ; % lb., 
15 cents; lb., 35 cents. 
Red Globe. Similar to Yellow Globe except in color, which is a light red or pink. Ounce, 
5 cents; % lb., 15 cents; lb., 35 cents.
