Model Beet 
Beets, like Beans, are of the greatest food- 
value, and are easily grown. Extensive 
plantings should be made, especially in this 
time of stress, to provide for summer and 
winter use. Sow as early as the ground can 
be worked and, for succession, until July, 
in drills from \ 2 to 1 inch in depth, allow- 
ing a space of 12 inches or more between the 
rows for cultivation. The varieties we offer 
are greatly improved, and will produce the 
finest and smoothest roots.
