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 are equal to grain pound for pound 
and are produced at half the cost. The value of Mangels for stock feeding is very impor- 
tant. 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 harvested 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 conditions, is not unusual. Oz., 15 cts.; 4% lb., 35 cts.; % Ib., 60 cts.; Ib., 
$1.10; 2 Ibs., $2.00; 5 Ibs., $4.50, postpaid.

256 Danish Sludstrup 
The seed of this mangel is produced in Denmark, where mangels are as 
important to the dairy farmers and stock feeders as corn is in this country. 
This variety for many times has been awarded the first class certificate by the 
Danish government. This is a long yellowish-red cylindrical root that grows 
over half above the ground, making it very easy to harvest. Oz., 10 cts.; '/% Ib.,
