Culture. Fibrous loam, well crrained and well enriched, will raise good Beet crop. 

 For early 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. 



Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 2 inches apart 

 in the row. 



For succession, sow at intervals to middle of July. For earliest sowings, a light 

 dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders.

115. Early Model Beet. This is a fine selection of blood-red Beet, 

 extremely smooth and of symmetrical growth, rich color and desirable 

 shape. It makes a rapid growth and matures very early. The shape is 

 nearly round, and color of flesh blood red. 



3. Early Ox-Blood. Six Reasons Why We Introduce This Beet. 

 1. It is extra dark blood color from end of its tap root to top of its 

 short graceful leaves. 2. Early as the Crosby Egyptian. 3. Almost globe 

 shape. 4. Small amount of even foliage of deep ox-blood color. 5. 

 Beets are very smooth and free from side rootlets. 6. Flesh fine grained, 

 sweet and of ox-blood color. 



4. Extra Early Eclipse. Remarkable for its very rapid growth, the 

 perfection of its form — which is globular — of its beautiful crimson flesh, 

 and for its dwarf foliage. Roots are bright glossy red. 



5. Crosby's Improved Extra Early Egyptian Beet. An improve- 

 ment of Extra Early Egyptian, being as early, but of more desirable 

 shape, color and quality. It is very sweet and tender; a most valuable 

 sort for early market, as it is ready before any other Beet of equal 

 quality. 



6. Crimson Globe Beet. This is one of the best Bunching Beets yet 

 introduced. A handsome variety of medium size, almost globe shape, 

 and entirely free from rootlets; a grand second early or main crop sort. 

 Very handsome in shape. The foliage is small and of a rich bronze 

 purple. Flesh is a rich blood red, slightly zoned or ringed. Never stringy. 



7. Detroit Dark Red Beet. A splendid Beet of a dark red color, for 

 home or market. By far the best for canning, on account of its beauty. 

 Small, upright tops and perfectly small roots. Flesh zoned with lighter 

 and darker bands; tender and sweet.
