BEETS 



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

 to an acre.

 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 son should be light, sandy loam, well 

 enriched with stable manure, and plowed and 

 harrowed until verj^ 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 only 

 in its extreme earliness. The stock we 

 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 flat 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. Pkt. 5c. and lOc, oz. 15c., 

 K lb. 30c., lb. $1.00.

 some, early or main

 of a rich, bronze purple. The flesh is a rich blood 

 red, slightly zoned, and of the finest quality, al-
