WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS 



BEET 



Betterave. Remolacha. £alatrut>e. 



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



Well enriched, light soil is best adapted to this crop. Sow in drills about 

 a foot apart, covering the seeds about an inch, pressing the soil firmly over 

 the seeds, which is important to secure good germination. When the young 

 plants are 2 or 3 inches in height they 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 every 3 or 4 weeks until 

 end of July, so that a constant supply of fresh, tender roots may be had 

 throughout the season. 



If to be forwarded by mail, add at the rate of 8c. per pound for postage.
