STOCK BEETS 
Mangels or Stock Beets 
MANGELS 
The Mangel Wurzel, also called Mangel, Stock Beet, Cat¬ 
tle Beet, and Field Beet, may be grown in almost any 
soil, but deep loams are necessary for heavy yields of the 
long varieties. When well grown the roots give an im¬ 
mense yield of very valuable food for stock. Plant early 
in spring in drills 2 to 2% feet apart, and about % inch 
apart in the row, covering with about 1% inches of fine 
soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate frequently. When 
about 3 inches high begin thinning and continue at inter¬ 
vals until the roots stand about 10 inches apart. 
Golden Tankard. 90 days. A rapidly maturing Mangel 
adapted to shallow land, although doing well on every 
soil. Tankard shaped. Roots large; thick-oval, nearly 
cylindrical; light gray above, deep orange below ground. 
Flesh golden yellow zoned white and very sweet. 
Danish Sludstrup. Long reddish yellow; grows well above 
ground and is easy to pull. Flesh white with faint yel¬ 
low tinge. Its uniform growth of large, well-shaped 
beets rich in saccharine, its record for producing rich 
milk and sweet butter, has made it the popular beet. 
Heavy yielder. 
Mammoth Long Red. 110 days. The largest and most pro¬ 
ductive Mangel. Often reaches 24 to 30 inches in length, 
weighing from 25 to 35 pounds. Roots are uniformly 
straight and well formed, and the fiesh is white tinged 
with rose. Easly harvested, as roots grow one-half out 
of the ground. 
Giant Feeding or Half Sugar. 90 days. A very valuable 
variety for stock feeding on account of its high sugar 
content. Yields are not so large as from Mangels, but 
the quality is higher. Roots are long ovoid, easily gath¬ 
ered. The Green Top is grayish white with light bronze 
green shoulder, flesh white. The Rosy Top is rose colored 
on the upper part, lower part white, white flesh. 
SUGAR BEETS 
do not yield as much tonnage per acre as Mangels, but are 
of superior quality on account of higher sugar content. 
Klein Wanzieben. 80 days. The most popular variety of 
Sugar Beets. Has rather long slender root, very rich 
in sugar content.
