Olds’ Mangels 
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 re- 
ducing the milk yield. One ounce of seed will sow 75 
to 100 feet of drill; six pounds an acre. 
CULTURE: 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 
opposite page 1. 
55. MAMMOTH LONG RED. The most widely 
grown mangel. Yields up to 40 tons per acre, the large 
reots 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; 14 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.40;

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, flesh 
white. One of the most valuable for feeding stock. Oz.,
