Mangels and Sugar Beet 
260 Mangel, Shumway’s Colossal Giant 
The Largest Yielding Variety I Have Ever Seen 
1 Oz. of Seed Will Plant a Row 100 Ft. Long. 7 Lbs. of Seed to Sow One Acre 
With the extremely low prices of grain, all farmers should grow at least a liberal acreage of 
my wonderful Colossal Giant Mangel. Mangels and Sugar Beets will grow and produce a crop 
on any fair Corn land. Root crops for cattle feeding is equal to grain pound for pound and pro¬ 
duced at half the cost. The value of Mangels for stock feeding is very important. They improve 
their health and condition. For milk cows they increase the flow of milk and are relished by all 
animals. My Colossal Giant is the most popular. The roots are of enormous size, very uniform 
in shape, smooth and clean. Skin is bright, rich red; flesh is white, tinted with rose. Easily har¬ 
vested as roots grow one-half to two-thirds out of the ground and frequently 2 feet or more in 
length. The immense yield of 35 to 50 tons per acre, under favorable condition' is not unusual.

258 Giant Half Sugar 
Rose Top 
A Cross Between Mangel and 
Sugar Beet— 
A Great Yielder 
This magnificent Sugar 
Beet, while giving nearly as 
large a yield of easily grown 
and harvested roots as a crop 
of Mangels, supplies a food of 
very much h i g h e r nutritive 
value, the roots for feeding 
purposes being really more 
valuable, pound for pound, 
than those of the very best 
strains of Sugar Beet, and the 
yield under equally favorable 
conditions being more than 
double. The roots grow part¬ 
ly out of the ground, and be¬ 
cause of this and their shape, 
the crop can be harvested and 
stored at less expense than any 
other root crop. We are cer¬ 
tain that every one who plants 
this variety and grows it with 
care will he much pleased with 
the crop. Roots are of oval 
shape, green above and white 
below the ground, flesh white 
and sweet. Extensively used 
for stock feeding. It is a heavy 
cropper. Oz., 7 cts.; V4 lb., 20
