BEETS IN SUCCESSION. 
Do not depend on one planting for a supply all through 
the summer and fall. Some varieties are sweet and tender 
after they have grown to large size but the sweetest and 
most delicious of all are the small beets—just big enough to 
use. Have more coming on all the time. 
“We have ordered seeds from Olds for many years and have 
always found them satisfactory. Our garden was fine last year in 
spite of the drought. Here is an example of the size of our cabbage 
last year We sold 160 heads of your Wisconsin All Seasons and 
they weighed 1,650 pounds . We had one head on exhibition that 
was 37 inches m circumference and weighed 16 pounds and 14 
ounces. —Elmer Huntsmger, Wis.
