LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1923. 



BEETS 



Culture — Where a variety and choice of soil is at command, select that which is rather light for this crop. It must, how- 

 ever, be thoroughly enriched. As early in the spring as the ground can be properly cultivated, lay out the drills for the seed 

 about a foot apart. Sow the seed thinly, covering to a depth of \ inch; when large enough to handle, thin out the plants to 

 about 6 inches apart. The plants pulled up may easily be transplanted elsewhere, avoiding loss. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill, 7 lbs. to tbe acre in drills.
