CHIRK CASTLE 
110 Days—A selection of the Mammoth Long 
Red which originated in Scotland. Its size is 
enormous and the productiveness unequalled. 
Specimen roots have been grown weighing 
36 lbs. and a whole crop averaged 38 lbs. per 
root. It requires no more labor or care in its 


cultivation than other mangels, but its yield is 
heavier than any other variety. Skin light 
red; flesh white with rose tinge. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED 
110 Days—This famous variety is the result of 
continuous and careful selection. The charac- 
_ teristic of our stock is the broad shoulder and 
massiveness of the root, by which a greater 
weight is obtained without the coarseness 
which appears to be inherent in 
many stocks of Long Mangel. It

for Stock Feeding 
2 Ozs. per 100 Ft.;-8 to 10 Lbs. per Acre 
ANGEL WURZEL, also called Mangel or Stock 
Beet, is very valuable for stock feed. The roots ex- 
cel as a Winter keeper, giving an immense yield of food 
at small cost for cattle, hogs, 
‘sheep and poultry. They keep 
cattle in a healthy condition, 
increase the yield of milk and 
save fodder, In feeding stock, 
they should be sliced and-are 
even better if steamed and 
mixed with bran. Sugar beets 
are desirable not only for 
sugar making but for stock 
feeding the same as Mangels, 
Culture—Plant the same as 
for table beets except that the 
rows should be 214 ft. apart 
and thinned to 6 ins. apart. 
Cultivate frequently. 
GOLDEN TANKARD

Mangel, largely grown by 
dairymen and sheep raisers;

rich character of the milk it 
produces. Roots large, nearly 
cylindrical, deep orange, grows 
partly above ground; flesh 
yellow with white zones. 
SLUDSTRUP 

oer 105 Days—This Mangel has 
Tankard ;

and hogs because of the high 
sugar content. A good cropper, growing 
mostly above the ground making for easy 
harvest. Roots are long, oval; skin reddish- 
yellow; flesh white tinged with yellow. 
KLEIN WANZLEBEN SUGAR

as it contains a high percentage of sugar; is 
also good for stock feeding. Roots long with 
thick shoulder, tapered; skin grey-white; flesh 
solid white. A heavy yielder.
