Pole or CornhSli Beans

provided with something to climb upon. If planted in hills, poles 
will answer the purpose, or if planted in rows a continuous wire 
or heavy twine trellis is good. Pole Beans yield many more pods 
per plant than dwarf varieties. One pound will plant 100 hills.

Beets 
GROW YOUR OWN BEETS— Root crops give 
more food value for the space occupied than any 
other vegetable. Beets are the most popular of all 
root crops. Beets may be stored for winter use. Best 
of all, the small beets pulled and used soon after, are 
much sweeter and more tender than any you could 
buy. Try some buttered tender baby beets from j;our 
own garden this year. Make at least two plantings 
of beets so that you have plenty for early use and 
for winter storage as well. 
TABLE BEETS CULTURE. Beets like well en¬ 
riched moist soil. Sow the seed 1 inch deep in rows 
12 to 16 inches apart, and thin out to stand 4 inches 
apart. First sowing may be made as early as the soil 
is in good workable condition, later plantings up 
to July Ist. 
QUANTITY OF SEED. One ounce should sow a 
50 to 75 foot row, 5 to 6 pounds an acre. Packets 
of the standard varieties will contain about ounce.

garden. Pkt. lOc; oz. 20c; 54 lb. 60c; lb.
