CULTURE OF BEETS. Our best seed are grown from selected trans- 

 planted roots and have given truckers and market gardeners, who appre- 

 ciate a high standard of perfection, the utmost satisfaction. 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 6 inches 

 apart in rows ; continue sowing for a succession as late aa the middle of 

 August Keep well cultivated. 



SUPERB. Has taken the lead among early turnip-shaped Beets en- 

 tirely by superior merit of everything pertaining to a Beet to make 

 a recognized leader. It is very early, indeed, it is 8 to 10 days ahead 

 of any other early sort now offered. The shape is uniformly perfect, 

 being entirely free from fibrous side roots, which are so objectionable; 

 in fact, it is the smoothest Beet within our knowledge. The flesh is 

 a rich, dark blood-red, tender, crisp, and deliciously sweet, besides 

 having a very small top; is an ideal variety for bunching. We offered 

 this Beet for the first time in 1910, and we were delighted by the favor- 

 able reports received, although we knew everyone would be delighted 

 with its superiority. Will produce a good crop inside of 7 weeks 

 from sowing. Is excellent as a forcing sort or as a main crop. Packet, ' 

 .5 and 10c. ; 14 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25.

it is the best yet introduced for early market. Grown in hot beds, cold 



frames or open ground. Packets, 5 and 10c. ; ^4 lb., 35c.; 1 lb., $1.25. 



CROSBY EXTRA EARLY (American Grown). A very superior strain of blood-red Egyptian, 



carefully selected for years by Mr. Crosby, a noted market gardener, whose aim was to secure a 



perfect forcing variety. The results obtained were handsome form, good size, few small tops, very 



small tap root, fine quality, and, above all, quick, rapid growth. The shape is very desirable, not 



quite so flat as the ordinary Egyptian, nor so round as the Eclipse. Packets, 5 and 10c. ; % lb., 



35c.; 1/2 lb., 65c.; lb., $1.25.
