So The Great all Seasons Beet 
VMIARKET GARDENERS’ BEET. 
ALWAYS GOOD—NEVER PAST ITS PRIME, 
This new beet is one of the best on my list for general cultivation by 
market gardeners and farmers. Makes avery rapid growth from the start, 
period, making a heavy root for autumn or winter use. Planted in the early 
portions of the leaf may be used like spinach. | 
The seed should be sown in spring, in drills a 
foot apart. This beet does not make a large 
root, but is a delicious summer vegetable when 
cut young and used for “greens” or when ma- 
tured and used inthe manner already described.

beet is an old favorite with market men and 
stock owners, and has no defects. It is the best
