Ideal Sugar 
Mangel Beet 
Dear Mr. Ebeling: Sauquoit, N. Y., Dec. 9, 1936. 
I have been growing Ideal Sugar Mangel Beets for five years, and think there is nothing like 
them for keeping your milk cows and young stock and poultry in a good healthy condition. I 
have a bull two and one-half years old, weighs over eighteen hundred pounds now, and this bull 
has had no grain, nothing but beets, hay and ensilage. 
This year I had 1% acres and harvested one thousand, six hundred and seventy-eight (1678) 
measured bushels or over fifty tons of Ideal Sugar Mangel Beets. Dairymen should raise more 
Ideal Mangel Beets, so easy to raise, keep well and long. I have fed them as late as August 10. 
The biggest advantage is that they are very easy to harvest and some weigh 16 lbs. or more. 
Very truly yours.

old customer of many years). 
BROCCOLI 
Spargelkohl (Ger.) Broccoli (It.) 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. Recently introduced from 
Europe and very popular here. It is quite distinct from the 
white heading Broccoli. The plants are rapid growing and 
produce a large head at center of plant in about ninety days 
from date of planting. The head is a compact cluster of tightly 
closed buds and resembles cauliflower only in shape, as the 
color is dull bluish green. It is used without blanching and 
ready for use as soon as fully developed. After this central 
head is removed the plant produces many branches, each bear¬ 
ing smaller terminal and lateral heads which are fully as de¬ 
sirable as the first head produced. If these heads are gathered 
as soon as they become large enough for use, the plant will 
continue to produce for a period of eight to ten weeks. Quality 
fully equal to cauliflower and by some considered superior. 
The secondary heads are four to six inches in length and these 
stems are fully as desirable as the heads. Served same as 
asparagus. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; % lb., $1.50. 
PURPLE CAPE. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 60c. 
EARLY LARGE WHITE FRENCH. Hardy, vigorous and easily 
grown. Heads white. Pkt., 10c; oz., 60c. 
Dairymen’s League Certificate of Indebtedness ac¬ 
cepted in the purchase of seed.

BEETS—Continued 
DETROIT DARK RED. We believe this is the best beet for 
the market and home garden, and on account of its uniformly 
deep rich color the most desirable for canning. Tops small, 
upright in growth. Very smooth and of dark blood red color. 
Flesh is deep vermilion-red, zoned with a lighter shade of 
the same color. Careful comparisons with all the prominent 
varieties on the market in this country and in Europe prove 
that the Detroit Dark Red Beet is the most uniform in shape 
and size and the most attractive in color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
*4 lb-, 40c; lb., $1.25. 
EARLY WONDER. A deep blood red beet, nearly globular, 
with small, clean tap-root and small sized top. One of the 
earliest and most uniform bunching beets on the market. 
A field of Early Wonder Beets will mature so evenly that 
the crop may be harvested at one time. 
lb., $1.25. 
Pkt., 10c; ©z M 15c; 
A door may open any- 
zvhere: 
Upon a wood or path 
or lawn, 
Or crowded street or 
road, or there 
Where none pass by 
from dawn to'dawn; 
But, if you have a 
mind at peace, 
A heart that cannot 
harden, 
Go -find a door that 
opens wide 
Upon a little garden.

IDEAL SUGAR MANGEL BEET. The illustration faithfully shows the shape of this 
wonderful Mangel. It is a perfect chunk of a beet, being as large at the bottom 
as at the top. Stands two-thirds above ground. Is easily harvested even on hard 
soils. This new and original Mangel has been tested alongside thirty other Man¬ 
gels and by strict laboratory tests on trial grounds and field demonstrations, has 
proved to be ideal and superior in quality. Lb., $1.25; 10 lbs., $11.50. 
E. —Very easy to harvest. 
F. —Best keeper. 
G. —Splendid ensilage. 
H. —Has yielded 25 tons to the acre. 
A. —Contains the greatest amount of sugar of 
any mangel. 
B. —Grows high above the ground.

The value of this Mangel for stock feeding cannot be over-estimated. No one who 
keeps horses, sheep or cattle should be without these roots for winter feeding. Too 
much cannot be said of the marvelous Sugar Mangel for dairy and poultry feed.
