 Our Beet is carefully grown from the very best slock seeds in the world. In addition to this, we 

 take out of the ground each Beet and examine it carefully: if the color is not a fine dark red, and is 

 not perfect in shape, and if it is late in maturing, we will destroy it, as we only save our seed from as 

 near perfect roots as it is possible to grow. 



Culture. Fibrous loam, well drained and well enriched, will raise 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 ran be put in 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 ,1 uly . For earl lest sowings a light dressing of nitrate 

 of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders.
