J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



TABLE BEETS 



1 oz. to 50 feet of drill; 5 lbs. per acre. 



The soil for beets should be light, rich fine and deeply 

 cultivated. Smooth beets cannot be grown if fresh manure 

 is used. Ifwanted very early, sow in hot beds and trans- 

 plant, cutting off the outer leaves. For early outdoor 

 crop plant the seeds about 1 inch apart and 1 inch deep 

 in rows 1 to 2 feet apart, firming the soil about the seeds 

 by walking on the row. This should be done as soon as 

 the ground can be worked and for table use, plantings 

 should be made every three_ weeks. Thin out the plants 

 to 3 inches apart. For main crop sow in the early part 

 cf May while for winter use they may be planted up to 

 July 1st.

excellent for forcing and early crop. Roots are distinctly 

 flat, very dark red, have very small tap root and are of 

 fine quality when young. They measure 2 inches in diam- 

 eter when mature and have very small tops. Pkt., 10c;

New Model "Early Spring" $&$£ 



for growing under sash or in the open ground. Perfect 

 in shape and of a beautiful red color, very uniform in shape 

 and size, the entire crop maturing during the same week. 

 Short tap root and small tops. The fact that many cus- 

 tomers bought their 1925 requirements as soon as 1924 

 crops were harvested proves that this variety fills a definite 

 need among the market gardeners and has met with 

 success. Pkt., 10c; M l*>-> 35c; lb., $1.00. 



This is most popular early 

 variety for the trucker or 

 home gardener, as the roots are smooth, globe shaped, 

 deep red in color, tender, sweet and richly palatable when 

 s erved. This should^ not be confused with Flat Egyptian 

 a s it is similar only in point of earHness, and size of tops 

 a nd tap root. Pkt., 5c; 34 lb., 25c; lb., 90c.

BEETS— MANGEL AND SUGAR 



The Mangel Wurzel, also called Mangel, Field Beet and Cow 

 Beet is extremely valuable for stock feed. Very large yields are 

 produced on almost any soil, but a deep, rich loam is most suitable. 



Sow 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill, 6 lbs. to the acre in drills and 

 15 to 20 lbs. to the acre is sown broadcast. 



Plant from middle of May to middle of June in drills about 2J^ 



feet apart and 1 inch to 1}^ inches deep. When the plants are 

 about three inches high begin thinning out and continue at inter- 

 vals until they stand 8 inches apart in the rows. By thoroughly 

 firming the soil over the seeds after planting and frequently cul- 

 tivating, more uniform germination and a more even maturing 

 crop will result.
