23Iowa Seed Company, 23... Des Moines, Iowa. [middle of page] [Bottom Left of page] Champion Yellow Globe.-Finest type of Yellow Globe in cultivation. Roots immense size, fine shape, small tap root, neat top. Flesh being very firm and fine-grained, renders it an excellent keeping variety. Well adapted to shallow soils. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 45c. By express, not prepaid, 5 lbs. $1.50. Red Globe.-Like the above except color. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, [1/4?] lb. 20c, lb. 50c. By express, 5 lbs. $1.50. Golden Tankard.-Best for dairy farming. Considered indispensable among English dairy farmers; it is stated by them they are able to obtain a higher price for milk when feeding cows on Golden Tankard. Sheep thrive on it. Other magels cut white, circled with yellow, but Golden Tankard is of a rich, deep yellow throughout. Early, hardy and a heavy cropper, for on account of its shape the roots can be left standing close in rows. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 45c, By express, not prepaid, 5 lbs. $1.50. Klein-Wanzleben.-Also called Diamond Sugar Beet. This variety is cultivated on a larger scale for the beet sugar factories than any other as it yields frequently 15 to 20 per cent [percent] of sugar. Root is of shape shown in our illustration, straight, tapering evenly and somewhat screw shape. Our seed is grown in Germany from beets which were tested as to per cent of sugar before setting out. The heavy per cent [percent] of sugar makes it also of great value for feeding. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c. By express, 5 lbs. $1.50. $10.00 Prize. We will pay $10.00 cash for the heaviest Mangel or Sugar Beet grown from our seed this year. Report to be sent in by Oct. 15th. [Bottom Right of page] Vilmorin's Improved Sugar.-Best and sweetest of the French Sugar Beets. Under average conditions it has yielded 14 tons of roots to the acre, containing about 16 per cent [percent] of sugar. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c. By express, 5 lbs. $1.75. Danish Sugar Beet.-An improved strain of the White French Red Top sugar beet which is wonderfully fine for feeding to milch cows and will add greatly to the milk production as well as to its richness. It will yield as much or more than any variety of mangels and we consider it superior to any variety of sugar beet or mangel for feeding. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 60c. By express, 5 lbs. $2.25. Lane's Imperial Sugar Beet.-An improvement on the white French Sugar Beet. Recommended as hardier, more productive, yielding 35 to 40 tons per acre. It is much larger than the above varieties and will yield more but is not as sweet, containing only about 8 per cent of sugar. Greatly liked for stock feeding and preferred by some to mangels. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c. By express, 5 lbs. $1.25. This Year Mangel and Sugar Beet seed is scarce, owing to short crop, but price is not high and it will pay you to put in an acre. Five pounds will be sufficient. You may select one pound each of five sorts at the 5-lb. rate. | 23Iowa Seed Company, 23... Des Moines, Iowa.
