Table Beets 
Grown for Purity—Tested for Germination. 
Our beet seed has proven the purest and best with which 
the market gardeners of this territory have been supplied. 
Culture: Beets thrive best in deep, rich sandy soil, one which 
the roots can penetrate easily. For extra early use, the seed may 
be sown in hotbeds and the young plants set out in the open, 
trimming off the outer leaves. They can be transplanted easily 
in moist weather. Spade or plow deeply, sow seed in rows 18 
inches apart, covering one-half in. deep. If dry, the soil should 
be well firmed about the seed. When three or four leaves have 
developed, thin out to four inches apart in the row, allowing 
the strongest to remain. Keep free from weeds. For main crop 
sow end of April. For winter crop, sow end of June.
