BEET. 



Bunkelrube, Ger. Betterave, Fr. 

 One ounce will sow fifty feet of drill. Five or six pounds to the acre. 



Beets give the best results when grown in a rather light rich soil. Sow in di'ills one foot apart and one inch 

 deep as early as the ground can be worked. T^^hen the plants are large enough thin out so as to stand six inches 

 apart in the row; keep well cultivated. Continue sowing every ten days for a succession, up to as late as the 

 middle of Jnlv.

 twelve days earlier than the Blood Tm-nip. Roots 

 large and of a rich, crimson color. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 

 yi lb., 20c; lb., 60c.

 qualities requisite in a first class beet. The roots are of 

 globular shape, fine grained, superior in flavor and of a 

 rich glossy red, making a handsome appearance. Pkt., 

 5c; oz., 10c; }i\h., 20c; lb., 60q. 



Edmands. Second early. The most uniform of all 

 Turnip Beets, with very smaU tops and short foliage of 

 a rich red color. The roots are handsome and roimd, 

 very smooth, of good marketable size, and for table use 

 unexcelled in quality; flesh dark red, exceedingly sweet 

 and tender. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; }i lb., 20c; lb., 60c. 



Bastian*s Blood Turnip. For a general purpose beet 

 this is unexcelled, being of early, quick growth, large,
