BEET 



SWISS CHARD (See page 26) 



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. 



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

 inch apart. When they have grown 5 or 6 inches, 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 for winter use. 



Note — We offer two distinct strains of Crosby's Beet. 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.
