table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as 
early as the ground can be put in. good shape, or seed may be sown under glass 4 weeks 
sooner and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground, to give an extra early crop.

dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders. 
377 Bolgiano’s Early Spring Beet 
Bolgiano’s Early Spring Beet has proven to be one of the best and 
earliest beets yet offered the market gardener. Wherever it has been 
used, it has brought forth praise and recommendations. It is the first 
beet to be brought to market, always bringing the highest prices. It is 
perfect in shape, of the globe type, with small tap roots and small tops. 
The flesh is a deep red, fine grained, and exceptionally tender and sweet. 
It may be sown under glass, or in the open field, and will mature much 
earlier than other early varieties. We are constantly reselecting and 
improving our stock, and we believe we are offering you the earliest 
and best beet on the market today in Bolgiano’s Early Spring. If you 
have never tried this beet, you should do so this Spring.
