BEETS 



Gal/Atrube, Ger. 



CULTURE.— Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked (5 to 6 pounds to the acre) and ev- 

 ery two weeks after for a succession up ro the first week 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 one foot to fifteen inches apart, and when well up thin from four to six inches. 

 The young beets, with their tops, pulled out of the row, are excellent used as Spinach. For this purpose' 

 sow frequently, and use when size of a hickory nut. ' 



Extra Early Crosby Egyptian '^^^^T^^.^, 



as it resembles the Egyptian only in its extreme earli- 

 ness. The stock I 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 I 

 know of no better quality. One of the best for plant- 

 ing early out of doors. It becomes fit for use sooner 

 than any other variety, and is equally suited for forcing 

 in hot beds or for transplanting. Price, packet, 5c., and
