GARDEN or TABLE 
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 Y2 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.

Turnip Shape. An exceedingly early variety, matur-

sider it the choicest of all edible Beets. The roots

the flesh is of a deep red color, fine grain, tender, and 
sweet. We recommend this variety above all others 
for the home-garden. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 40 cts.,
