Beans—Pole or Running

best In sandy loam, which should be liberally 
enriched with short manure in the hills, which 
are formed, according to the variety, from three 
to four feet apart; from five to six seeds are 
planted in each hill, about two inches deep.

ALL BEANS—INOCULATE, FOR BEST RESULTS, WITH NITROGEN FIXING BACTERIA 
BEET 
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, 
sandy loam. For early use sow as soon as the 
ground will admit, in drills fourteen inches 
apart, and thin to four inches; for the main 
crop, sow the first week in May, and for winter 
use as late as June. The soil should be deeply 
manured and well cultivated. In lifting and 
storing the roots, care must be taken that they 
are not bruised. 
One ounce to 50 feet of drill; 6 pounds to the acre. 
Crosby’s Egyptian. As early as the Egyptian, shape more round, flesh 
sweet and tender. 
DETROIT DARK RED. Similar in shape to the Dewing’s, of dark red 
color, with small tops. A favorite with market gardeners . 
Dewing’s Blood Turnip. Of fine form and flavor, blood red. A desirable 
variety .. 
Dirigo Extra Early. A rich, blood-red beet of fine grain and flavor, earlier 
than the Egyptian or the Eclipse.... 
Early Wonder. A popular variety among market gardeners. It matures 
very rapidly and is so uniform in growth that the crop can be lifted 
practically at one time. 
Eclipse. This variety is about as early as the Egyptian, but larger and of 
finer quality; color, dark crimson .. 
Edmand’s Early Turnip. A variety of handsome round shape. The skin is 
deep blood red in color, the flesh very dark and exceedingly sweet and 
tender in quality . 
Swiss Chard (Lucullus). The leaves of Swiss chard are used as greens, 
cooked in the same manner as spinach, and the large ribs are prepared 
like asparagus, in which manner they are delicious. The “Lucullus” is 
the largest and the best variety of Swiss chard....
