CURRIE BROTHERS CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS 



Currie's 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 thoroughly enriched. As 

 early in the spring as the ground can be properly cul- 

 tivated, 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 eas- 

 ily be transplanted elsewhere, avoiding loss. 1 oz. to 

 100 feet of drill, 7 lbs. to the acre in drills.
