How to Grow "Live Beets" 
Culture: Plant any time from early spring 
to August. Most people make a mistake by 
not planting beets along in summer, as well 
as in spring. They come up quickly, the small 
half-grown size being best for canning and 
fine for summer use also. An ounce of seed 
will sow 50 feet of row. Cover % inch. Pack 
soil well over seed. Keep soil damp until 
plants appear.

More About Beans 
I could list a dozen or so more varieties, 
and did use to have a longer list. But my 
customers boiled the list down for me by or¬ 
dering nothing else much but the favorite 
varieties above. Even Golden Wax could be 
omitted, because Brittle Wax so much better. 
My “Down South” customers are especially 
fond of Limas. But not as dry matured beans, 
as usually cooked. They pick them when the 
beans are well formed, but still green. Then 
shell and cook like peas. “That’s sumpin’.” 
The Henderson or “Baby Dima” is much easier 
to grow than other Limas. Try Henderson 
Limas the “Down South” way. You’ll be sur¬ 
prised.
