Nursery stock Michigan Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Commercial catalogs Michigan Detroit. 7 3 Gratiot Avenue, Corner Randolph St. 5 Mangel Wurzel Beet. Culture.—Six to eight pounds of seeds will sow one acre. The following varieties are extensively grown for feeding stock, and are excellent food to increase the flow of milk. As they grow much larget than the varieties cultivated for table use, they require more room, and should be sown in drills about two feet apart. The seeds should be dropped about two inches apart in the drills, and when strong enough, thin out to twelve or fifteen inches in the row. The long varieties are best suited to deep soil, and the globe sorts succeed better than the long sorts on sandy soil. Mammoth Long Red Mangel Wurzel. The most largely grown of any of the Mangels; roots attain an enormous size, producing 30 to 50 tons to the acre; quality superior; the best for deep soil. Golden Tankard flangel Wurzel. Best and most popular for dairy farming; a very large, yellow-fleshed sort; it contains a large amount of sugar; fine for either cattle or sheep; grows largely above ground, is hardy and a heavy cropper. Yellow Ovid, or Intermediate Mangel Wurzel. An excellent sort for stock; yellow-fleshed; very productive, and is sweet and fine- grained; fine keeper. Orange Globe Mangel Wurzel. This is the best Yellow Globe in cultivation; heavy yielder and splendid keeper. We highly recommend this strain. Red Globe flangel Wurzel. Globe-shaped, red, similar to Yellow Globe; good sort for stock; preferred by many. French White Sugar, Red Top. Grows to a large size, and is use- ful for making sugar, as well as for stock feeding. Vilmorin's Improved Imperial Sugar. A much improved strain of the preceding; very valuable as a sugar producing beet. Lane's Imperial Sugar. A white-fleshe
