SCHULTZ'S SEED STORE, WASHINGTON, D. C 



BEETS 



One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds 

 to an acre. 



Culture. — Sow as early in the Spring as the 

 ground can be worked, and every two weeks 

 after for a succession up to the end of July. 

 For general crop, sow about the middle of May. 

 The soil should be light, sandy loam, well 

 enriched with stable manure, and plowed and 

 harrowed until very fine. Sow in drills 1 foot 

 to 15 inches apart, and when well up, thin from 

 4 to 6 inches. 



Crosby^s Improved Egyptian 



Very early. Smooth globe shaped. Dark 

 blood red. The name of this variety is mis- 

 leading, as it resembles the Egyptian onlj- 

 in its extreme earliness. The stock w'e 

 offer is of a distinct dark red color, which is 

 very attractive, not only in the Beets as 

 pulled, but after they have been cooked. 

 They are also more spherical than the extra 

 early fiat Egyptian, and we know of no bet- 

 ter quality. One of the best for planting 

 early out of doors. It becomes fit for use 

 sooner than any other variety, and is equally 

 suited for forcing in hotbeds or for trans- 



planting.
