BEET 



Work the soil well and cover the seeds about an inch deep. A rich 

 sandy loam is most favorable, but nearly all types of soil will produce 

 beets if sufficiently fertilized and properly tilled. 



When the seedlings are about an inch tall, thin to about one-half inch 

 apart. When they have grown 5 or 6 inches, the alternate plants in the 

 row may be pulled and used for greens. This can be repeated as often as 

 the roots touch in the rows or until they reach good table size, about 

 2 inches in diameter. 



By planting at intervals of two to three weeks until July, greens and 

 beets will be supplied regularly until late fall. The roots from the later 

 plantings may be stored and kept for winter use. 



Note — In the following list we offer two distinct strains of Crosby's 

 Beet. They are alike in shape, but very different in color. If you want 

 the dark colored or Boston Crosby strain, order it under the name of 

 Crosby's Egyptian. If you want the lighter or orange-red strain, ask for 

 Ferry's Crosby.
