 The soil best suited for Beet culture is that which is 

 rather light and well enriched. Sow in drills 1 foot apart 

 and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked ; 

 when the plants are large enough thin out to stand ti 

 inches apart in rows ; continue for a succession as late 

 as the middle of July. The Sugar and Mangel Wurzel 

 varieties are grown for feeding stock, and should be sown 

 from April to June in drills 2 feet apart, and afterwards 



Vegetable seeds sent postpaid on receipt of retail price,
