WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



BEET 



Betterave. Remolncha. i:aIah'uBe. 

 One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds required for an^acre. 



Well enriclied, light soil is best adapted to this crop. Sow in drUls about 

 a foot apart, covering the seeds about an inch, pressing the soil firml}^ over 

 the seeds, which is important to secure good germination. When the j^oung 

 plants are 2 or 3 inches in height the\' should be thinned to stand 6 to 8 in- 

 ches apart. A good time to make the first sowing is when the trees are 

 starting to leaf, and continue successive plantings ever}- 3 or 4 weeks until 

 end of Jul}', so that a constant supph- of fresh, tender roots may be had 

 throughout the season. 



If to be forwarded by mail, add at the rate of 7c. per pound for postage.
