Mangels 
THE MANGEL WURZEL, also called Mangel, Stock 
Beet, Cattle 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 immense yield of very 
valuable food for stock. Plant early in spring in 
drills 2 to 2¥2 feet apart, and about ¥% inch apart 
in the row, covering with about 1¥2 inches of 
fine soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate frequent- 
‘ly. When about 3 inches high begin thinning 
and continue at intervals until the roots stand 
about 10 inches apart. 
Prices not prepaid: (Ib. $2.20) (5 Ibs. $10.25) (10 
Ibs. $20.00). 
Sugar Beet and Mangel seed in 50-lb. quantities 
and over will be priced on Special Field Seed Price 
List.

POP CORN 
SOUTH AMERICAN POP CORN is also known as 
Argentine and has become a great favorite. It 
produces large yellow grains on large ears. Pops 
quickly, giving large yellow kernels having a 
color of buttered corn. Is very crisp and leaves 
no hard core. 
LARGE SPANISH POP CORN is a large grained, 
flinty corn. The seed is rounded and smooth. In 
its growth and habits Spanish Pop Corn resem- 
bles the common varieties of flint corns. It is quite 
a favorite for popping. 
BABY RICE POP CORN is also known as Baby 
or Hulless, Japanese Rice, Japanese Hulless. 
It is a dwarf growing, heavy yielding variety, 
and makes the choicest pop corn due to its 
fine flavor and the absence of hull or shell. 
Prices on pop corn prepaid: (Ib. 20c) (5 Ibs. 75c). 
These are the varieties most commonly used and 
are the varieties we hope to be able to supply. 
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 yellow tinge. Its uniform growth 
of large, well-shaped beets rich in saccharine, 
its record for producing rich milk and sweet but- 
ter, has made it the popular beet. Heavy yielder. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED. 110 days. The largest and 
most productive Mangel. Often reaches 24 to 30 
inches in length, weighing from 25 to 35 pounds. 
Roots are uniformly straight and well formed, 
and the flesh is white tinged with rose. Easily 
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 ac- 
count of its high sugar content. Yields are not 
so large as from Mangels, but the quality is 
higher. Roots are long ovoid, easily gathered. 
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 Man- 
gels, but are of superior quality on account of 
higher sugar content. 
PEANUTS 
PEANUTS can be successfully grown in almost any 
place where corn succeeds, but thrive best on 
light sandy soil. The vines are valuable feed 
for horses, cattle, and sheep. One acre will pro- 
duce from | to 8 tons of vines. We will be able 
to supply Improved Large Virginias and also 
Spanish varieties.
