CURRIE BROTHERS CO. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 
BEETS 
Culture—Where a variety and choice of soil is at command, select that which is rather light for this crop. It must, however, be thor- 
oughly 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 1 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 the acre in drills.
