Yellow Ovoid Mangel. This variety is intermediate in shape between the long red and yellow globe. It is a very handsome root, with remarkably high shoulders, neat top and few leaves. It is nearly as broad at top as at bottom, and the result is that every root is very heavy. It produces a great weight per acre. It is very solid and massive, and having only one tap-root, is easily gathered and requires little labor in cleaning. The deep yellow color of its skin, and its richness in saccharine matter and flesh-forming substance, makes this root a favorite with leading farmers. It is a most excellent sort for shallow and light soils. Oz. lo cts.; ft) 20 cts.; ft) 55 cts. ; by express, 40 cts. per ft); 5 ft)s. and over at 35 cts. per ft).

This mammoth variety grows to an ivunense size, single roots weighing 30 to 50 ft)s. each, and always of very fine texture and good quality.

At the Smithfield Club cattle show specimens were exhibited weighing 50 fts., and were the finest on exhibition.
