This succulent root, served hot or cold, 

 Nothing can beat it for young or old. 



BEETS 



The beet was first found in the wild state 

 in Egypt and along the Mediterranean coast. 



Plant seed in rows about one inch deep, 

 two feet apart. Thin out to one every six 

 inches. Keep the ground loose and free from 

 weeds. The tops make good greens, like 

 spinach.

The Mangel Wurtzel beets are raised for 

 stock. They grow to immense size. 



Plant in rows about two feet apart and in 

 furrows about two inches deep. When plants 

 are about two inches high thin out to one

 gate until rains furnish the desired moisture 

 or in the spring about the middle of May.
