CULTURE. Our beet seed is 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 inches apart in rows; continue sowing 

 for a succession as late as the middle of August. Keep well cultivated. 



The early varieties mature in 40 to 50 days; the midseason and late 

 varieties require 70 to 100 days. Beets can readily be kept for winter use 

 by packing them in slightly moist earth and storing in a cool cellar. 



67. Bolgiano's Extra Early Superb. ("Best in Garden" Va- 

 riety.) Has taken the lead among early turnip-shaped Beets entirely 

 by superior merits of everything pertaining to a Beet to make a 

 recognized leader. It is very early. The shape is uniformly perfect, 

 being entirely free from fibrous side roots, which are so objection- 

 able; 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. 

 Will produce a good crop inside of six weeks from sowing. Is ex- 

 cellent as a forcing sort or as a main crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts. ;
