Gentlemen: — Please allow me to inform you that at the Annual Fair 
which is held here every year I was fortunate enough to win 14 prizes in 
the vegetable classes, 12 first and 2 seconds, all from your seed. We had 
some of the finest beets and onions ever raised in this section, and will 
certainly continue to use your seeds. Yours truly, E. J. Gardener, 
South Weymouth. 
The Cultivation of Beets. — The seed should be sown from as soon as the ground can be worked in spring until July 1st, 
in soil that has been well trenched and manured. Let the rows be about 18 inches apart, thin them to allow about 9 inches 
between the plants, and keep the soil well cultivated during the summer. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill, 5 to 6 
pounds per acre.
