Our Beet is carefully grown from the very best stock seeds in the world. In addition to this, we 
take out of the ground each Beet and ecamine tt carefully; if the color is not a fine 
dark red, and is not perfect in shape, and if tl ts late in maturing, 
we will destroy it, as we only save our seed from as 
near perfect rools as il is possible to grow. 
Culture. Fibrous loam, well drained and well enriched, willraise good Beet crop. For 
early table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as early 
as the ground can be putin good shape. Or seed may be sown under glass four weeks sooner , 
and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground, to give an extra early crop. 
Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. 
For succession sow at intervals to middle of July. For earliest sowings a light dressing of nitrate 
of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders.
