Giant White Half-Sugar Greentop: A large smooth Intermediate Man- 
gel with fairly large tops. Has a bronzy green shoulder, rest of 
root dull white with a clear white pointed base. Flesh white and 
rich in sugar, very valuable feed both in quality and quantity. 
Stands well out of the ground, easy to lift. 120-150 
Giant White Half-Sugar Rosetop: Similar to the Greentop except in 
color and not usually so large a root which is compensated for by 
having a little higher percentage of sugar. Color, bronzy rose 
shoulder, rest of root is rose with a white pointed base. 120-150 
Golden Tankard: A fine quality Mangel, the root is a broad tankard 
shape with square shoulder and blunt base. Color of root is 
brownish red at the top becoming clear red at base. Flesh is deeply 
zoned with gold, has a flavor particularly pleasing to cows. Easy

Mammoth Long Red: Very heavy roots, broad and long with fairly 
coarse tops, base a little pointed and well covered with fibrous 
roots. Rather firmly rooted. Outside color of root is dull red at top 
becoming clear red at base. Flesh white sometimes a little zoned 
with red. Probably the heaviest cropper of all Mangels with high- 
est percentage of food value per acre, but holds firm to the ground 
and does not lift so easy as the Intermediate varieties. 120-150
