Culture. — The best results are obtained on deep, rich, sandy loam. If wanted early sow in hot beds and trans¬ 
plant; cutting off the outer leaves. For general crop sow in drills 14 inches apart as soon as the ground will 
permit, and thin out to 3 inches in the row. For winter use, sow from July to August. One ounce will sow 100 
feet of drill. On Mangel or Sugar Beets, rows should be 2 to 3 feet apart. 
EMERSON’S EARLY WONDER. 
An early, deep, blood-red variety; 
very uniform in size with small top

suited to New England’s climate. 
We recommend it as superior in 
color and uniformity to any other 
beet for table use. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 
lb. $1.25. 
Crosby’s Egyptian. The standard
