Old’ Root 
Olds’ Mangels 
PLEASE NOTE: Our Mangel seed is imported from Europe, 
and we are unable to get this years’ seed across. Seed stock is 
very short. 
Mangels are highly nutritious and easily stored for winter. 
Greatly relished by all livestock and poultry. They are as 
digestible as grain; no silo is required. Mangels will save 
one-half the grain feed without reducing the milk yield. One 
ounce of seed will sow 75 to 100 feet of drill; six pounds an 
acre. 
Mangels for winter storage should be planted about corn 
planting time. Make the rows about 20 inches apart for hand 
cultivation or three to four feet apart for horse cultivation. 
Thin to about four to six inches apart in the row. For larger 
amounts than quoted see our Market Gardeners’ Wholesale 
Price List. 
55. MAMMOTH LONG RED. The most widely grown 
mangel. Yields up to 40 tons per acre, the large roots often 
weighing 15 pounds each. They frequently grow two feet or 
more long, with one-half to two-thirds of their length above 
ground. Skin bright red; flesh white with rings of pink. Oz., 
15c; % 1b., 35c; 1b., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid. 
56. GOLDEN TANKARD. Large roots, nearly cylin- 
drical in shape, narrowing abruptly at both ends. Flesh zoned 
yellow and white, very productive. Contains a larger percentage 
of sugar than the red mangels. Oz., 15c; Y% lb., 35c; 1b., $1.00; 
5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid. 
63. GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE. Combines the large 
size of a mangel with the greater feeding value of a sugar 
beet. Roots are oval shaped, skin rose colored, fiesh white. 
One of the most valuable for feeding stock. Oz., 15c; Y% Ib., 
35c; Ib., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid. 
Sugar Beet 
61. KLEIN WANZLEBEN SUGAR BEET. Largely 
grown for sugar. The roots are straight and even. A heavy 
yielder and very rich in sugar. The young beets are fine cooked 
with red table beets. Cooked this way they turn red and are 
much sweeter than the garden beet. Pkt., 5c; 0z., 15¢; %4 Ib., 
85c; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid. 
Olds’ Turnips 
CULTURE: For early turnips sow as soon as the ground can 
be worked in drills 14 inches apart, rutabagas 30 inches apart. 
Thin the early varieties of turnips to 6 or 9 inches in the row 
and rutabagas to about 12 inches. For a fall crop of turnips 
sow in July or August and for the main crop of rutabagas sow 
about June 15, The roots should be harvested in the fall and 
stored in a cool cellar covered with dry soil. A packet will 
sow 50 feet, one pound an acre in drills and 2 or 3 pounds an 
acre broadcast.

“T was so doggoned well satisfied the way your 
seed grew last year for me that here I am again 
with another order. I wish I could make itt twice 
or three times larger as you have so many nice 
plants, trees, and seeds and at such reasonable 
prices. However, we only have two lots so space 
will not permit. One of these days I think we'll 
have to buy a farm if you keep putting out such 
tempting catalogs. A well satisfied customer.’
