GARDEN OR TABLE BEETS. 



Early Blood Turnip Beet. 



CUZiTURE. — These are of universal cul- 

 ture, but we would emphasize the import- 

 ance of using improved strains which will 

 produce the finest and smoothest root with 

 a minimum amount of foliage. Make fre- 

 ^quent sowings in order that a constant 

 supply of tender young roots may be had 

 thr-oughout the season. When allowed to 

 get too old, the roots become hard, have a 

 Avoody fiber, and to a great extent lose 

 their sweet flavor. Seeds may be sown as 

 early in spring as the ground can be worked 

 in a good condition. Sowings should be 

 made for succession at least once a month 

 up to the first of July, when we recom- 

 mend a large sowing to produce a supply 

 of well-grown roots for winter use. If the 

 roots are gathered on the approach of cold 

 weather and packed in slightly moist earth, 

 they can be kept in a cool cellar in per- 

 fect condition until spring. 1 oz. seed to 

 100 ft. drill. 10 lbs. to acre. 



EARZ.T BI.OOD TURNIP. — The most 

 popular variety for market as well as 

 family use. It is a darli^ red color and 

 very tender. One of the pj|lncipal varieties 

 planted for shipping. I*&,cket, 10c. ; oz., 

 15c.; Yi lb., 50c.; lb., $1.50; 5 lbs., $7.00, 

 postpaid.
