Seed for main crop may be sown in the early spring as soon as" 
ground can be worked; later sowings for continuous supply, — 
every two or three weeks until the middle of July. Sow seed in 
rows 18 to 24 in. apart, and cover 1 in. deep. Walk on the rows

except it produces smaller, more spher- 
ical roots, with distinctly shorter tops.

form in color, the zones being so incon- 
'‘ spicuous that the flesh seems to be one 
solid ball of deep blood-red. Excellent 
for home and market garden, shipping 
and canning.

70 Maule’s Early Wonder 
Selection from Crosby’s Egyptian (53 days) — 
Early Wonder is the result of yearly 
selections made over a long period of 
time to perfect an early small beet that 
would be considered the standard of 
excellence for all purposes. As we offer 
it today it seems almost impossible to 
still further improve its appearance and > 
splendid quality. It is the earliest of 
the small table beets for outside grow- 
ing. Roots are semi-globular in shape, 
medium red, very smooth and attrac- — 
tive. It is possible to grow them quite 
close and thereby increase the yield. It 
matures quickly and is one of the most — 
uniform stocks that we offer. This 
variety is particularly well adapted to 
canning whole when the beets are small 
since they are vividly colored and very 
tender. Equally desirable for home and 
market garden.

THE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER 
The Four-Leaf Clover markisused with 
varieties that we consider the best in their 
class. We know that varieties so marked 
will be most satisfactory for general culti- 
vation throughout the country. If you do 
not know just which varieties to plant, we 
suggest making your selection from those 
marked with the Four-Leaf Clover. With 
each variety of vegetables we also give 
you the number of days required from 
time of sowing seeds until you may expect 
the vegetable to be ready for use. Where 
plants must first be grown, such as Cab- 
bage, Celery, Peppers, Tomatoes, etc., 
the number of days to maturity is from 
the time the plants are set in the garden. 
Of course, the time given is average.
