Culture of Beets. Our best seed are grown from selected transplanted roots 

 and have given truckers and market gardeners, who appreciate 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 mches apart in rows; contmue sowing fora succession as late as 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 

 Sand 10c; ^ lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.

Crosby Extra Early (American Grown). A very superior strain of blood-red Egyptian, care- 

 fully 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,
