CULTURE —Well enriched, light soil is best adapted for the culture of beets. Sow in drills 1 foot 
apart and cover half inch. It is important that the earth be pressed firmly about the seed. When the plants 
are large enough, thin to 4 inches apart. Use thinnings for greens if desired. For early crop, sow as soon 
as the ground can be worked, and continue for succession until the first of July. Liberal manuring should 
be done for Mangels and Sugar Beets. They should stand 10 to 12 inches apart in the rows. 
MORSE'S GOOD FOR ALL—Matures in 52 to 
55 days. An excellent new variety devel¬ 
oped from Detroit Dark Red. Especially 
fine for canning and pickling whole at 1*4 
to IV 2 inches in diameter. Roots smooth, 
even in size and shape, and almost per¬ 
fectly globular; collar and tap-roots very 
small; interior deep crimson, free from 
white zones. If you know the superior 
excellence of Detroit Dark Red, you will 
need little introduction to this “baby” 
strain of the same beet. Unusual even¬ 
ness of size and shape and almost perfect 
roundness when small make it the best 
• variety yet for canning or pickling whole.
