TABLE BEET 
MARKET GARDENER'S SUPERIOR FRENCH GROWN SEEDS 
Culture. The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, sandy loam. If wanted very early, sow such sorts as Crosby's 
Egyptian or Detroit Dark Red in hotbeds and transplant, cutting off the outer leaves. For general crop sow in freshly prepared 
soil as soon as the ground will permit, in rows eighteen inches apart covering about an inch deep and pressing the soil firmly 
over the seed. When the plants are well established, thin out to^six inches apart in the row. For winter use the turnip varieties 
may be sown in June, so as to mature late in the season. The roots are stored in a cellar and covered with sand or sandy soil 
to prevent wilting, or they may be kept outdoors in pits such as are used for apples and potatoes.
