Carters Red Emperor Mangel
MANGEL WURZEL
The Mangel Wurzel, also called Mangel, 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 two to two and one-half feet apart,
and about one inch apart in the row, covering with about one
and one-half inches of fine soil firmly pressed down. Cultivate
frequently. When about three inches high begin thinning and
continue at intervals until the roots stand about ten inches apart.
1910. Carters Improved Mammoth Long Red. The largest and most productive
of all the long red sorts. It is smooth skinned and fine grained, and very
regular in   size.     Pkt.   5c,   1   oz.   15c,  1   lb.   $1.00.
1915. Carters Red Emperor. A heavy cropping intermediate variety, with high
feeding value, density of flesh, digestible solids, and keeping qualities. Its
rich, solid flesh renders Carters Red Emperor a valuable Mangel for stock
raisers who require the maximum bulk of feed.    Pkt. 5c, 1 oz. 15c, 1 lb. $1.00.
1920. Carters Dreadnought. This is a fine type of the intermediate oval-shaped
Yellow Mangel, possessing a small top and fine shoulder. It withstands the
drought, and from its peculiar habit this variety may be set closer in rows
than  other sorts.     Pkt.   5c,   1  oz.   15c,   1  lb.   $1.00.
1925. Carters Windsor. A big improvement on any of the yellow-flesh Globe
Mangels. It grows such a clean root, free from fangs, and with a small
top, that the crop is easily pulled. This Mangel is capable of producing
from 90 to 120 tons per acre. We recommend it as the best all-round variety
where only one sort is grown. Carters Windsor is well-known to be the
best Yellow Globe  Mangel  in cultivation.     Pkt.  5c,  1  oz.   15c,  1 lb.   $1.00.
1930. Lord Warden. A deep orange Globe Mangel which grows to an immense
size, is extremely hardy, very suitable for cold soils and will produce enormous
crops.     Pkt.  5c,   1  oz.   15c,   1  lb.   $1.00.
1850. Giant Half-Sugar. The upper portion is of a soft bright pink, shading
lighter toward the bottom, where the lower portion for about one-third the
length is white. The flesh is pure white, firm and very sweet. Pkt. 5c,
oz.  15c,   lb.   $1.00.
1852. Giant Yellow Intermediate. Between the long and globe sorts in shape,
skin yellow, flesh white with yellow zones. Better than longer kinds for
shallow  soils.     Pkt.   5c,   oz.   15c,   lb.   $1.00.
GOLDEN TANKARD MANGEL
Contains more elements of saccharine than most other sorts. Many leading
dairymen prefer to sacrifice yield to secure nutriment, as it increases the flow
of milk to a remarkable degree.
The roots are handsome, of an ideal cylindrical form, with small neck, clean,
generally with only one tap-root, and can easily be harvested, and are
excellent keepers. The skin is light gray and deep orange below the ground;
the flesh is a bright yellow.     Pkt.  5c,  oz.  15c, lb.  $1.00.
SUGAR BEET
The Sugar Beets are desirable not only for sugar making but are valuable for stock feeding
and when small may be used for the table. The best soil is a rich, friable, sandy, or clayey loam.
Rich, mucky soils will often give an immense yield of roots which, though excellent for feed, are
of little value for sugar making.
Plant early in spring in drills two to two and  one-half feet apart and about one inch apart in
the row,  covering with  about one and one-half inches  of
fine  soil  firmly pressed down.     Cultivate frequently.    When
about   three   inches   high   begin   thinning   and   continue   at
intervals until the roots stand about ten inches apart.
2000.    Klein Wanzleben.     More  extensively grown than   any  other variety
for making  sugar;  used almost exclusively by all sugar  factories.    The
average  yield  is  from   15  to   20  tons   per  acre with  about   18  per  cent.
of  sugar.     Our  seed  is   pedigree  stock,   producing   roots   testing   highest
in sugar content.     Pkt.  5c, oz.  15., lb.  $1.25.
2010.    Vilmorin's   Improved.    One   of   the   richest  sorts   in   sugar  content.
The  tops   are  of  medium   size,   with  smooth,   bright  green   leaves.     The
roots  are of  medium   size,   similar in  appearance to  Jaensch's   Victrix,
with   white   flesh   and   often   yield   from   ten   to   sixteen   tons   per   acre.
Pkt.   5c,   oz.   15c,   lb.   $1.00.
2015.    Carters   Improved   White   Sugar   Beet.    A   superior   variety   of   the
Continental  Sugar  Beet.     Pkt.   5c,   1  oz.  20c,  1  lb. $1.50.

This vegetable resembles Cauliflower, but is much hardier.
Start in the house, or hot bed very
early and transplant to open garden
as soon as the. ground can be worked.
2130.    Veitch's   Self-protecting.      Early   variety
with   good   heading  qualities   and  very  hardy.
Pkt.   10c,   1  oz.  50c.
2100.    Early White.    Pkt.   10c, oz.  40c.

2123. Sharpe's Monarch.    A fine white market
Broccoli                         variety.     Pkt.   10c,  oz.  50c. Carters Windsor Mnnncl
