MANGEL-WURZEL AND 
SUGAR BEETS 
CULTURE —The following varieties are ex¬ 
tensively grown for feeding stock, and are ex¬ 
cellent food to increase the flow of milk. As 
they grow much larger than the varieties cul¬ 
tivated for table use, they require more room, 
and should be sown in drills about 2 feet apart. 
The seeds should be dropped about 2 inches 
apart in the drills, and when strong enough, 
thinned out to 12 to 15 inches in the row. The 
long varieties are best suited to a deep soil, 
and the globe sorts succeed better than the 
long sorts on sandy soil. When drilled 6 
pounds of seed will sow an acre. 
GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE (Feeding 
Sugar) —A most valuable, large yielding va¬ 
riety for feeding; roots oval-shaped; skin rose 
colored, flesh white. Has a larger sugar con¬ 
tent and feeding value than most beets of its 
class. 
GOLDEN TANKARD —A smooth, yellow- 
fleshed mangel; yields large crops on good 
land and is easily harvested. The roots are 
heavy and solid, of a typical tankard shape. 
The flesh is Arm and the roots are excellent 
keepers. Extensively grown for stock feeding. 
LONG RED MAMMOTH— An old, popular 
sort. This is the heaviest cropping and larg¬ 
est of all mangels. The roots grow half to 
two-thirds above the surface and are frequent¬ 
ly 2 feet or more in length by 6 inches in 
diameter. Skin bright red; flesh white, veined 
pink. 
KLEIN WANZLEBEN SUGAR— The roots 
are 7 to 8 inches long. They can be grown as 
close as 5 inches apart in the row and 2 feet 
between the rows. An enormous yielder, 
grown extensively for sugar.

CABBAGE 
CULTURE—Select a moist, heavy, rich soil 
for cabbage. For winter crops, sow in the 
middle spring and transplant to the field when 
4 to 6 inches high in rows 2 feet apart. The 
early varieties should be sown in hot-bed or 
box in the house about 6 weeks before the 
plants are to be set out. When the soil is 
suitable in the spring, transplant to the field 
in rows 2 feet each way. Cultivate early and 
often. Half pound of seed will produce suffi¬ 
cient plants for one acre.

EARLY WINNINGSTADT—Heads are hard 
and pointed. Is quite early with thick dark 
green leaves; a desirable sort.

pointed heads, small outside foliage and very 
sweet. 71 DAYS 
EARLY CHARLESTON LARGE WAKE¬ 
FIELD—Similar to Jersey Wakefield, but a 
week later, somewhat larger with blunt point¬ 
ed heads.
