Ger.—Rube. Scand.—Rodebede. 
HOW TO PLANT— The soil should be rich and deeply plowed. Sow in rows 14 to 20 inches apart 
and about 1 to iy 2 inches deep. As soon as the plants have the fifth and sixth leaf, thin to one plant 
each 3 inches apart. Then irrigate. Cultivate often and do not water again until absolutely necessary 
as the soil will dry from the surface down and the top roots will follow. Cultivate once a week for 
best results. Keep clean and remember that cultivation is the next thing necessary after the best seeds 
and the two are necessary for success. (One ounce to 100 feet of drill, 5 to 6 lbs. per acre, in drills; 
15 to 20 lbs. to the acre broadcast.) 
Early Wonder or Boston Crosby — (55 Days) —This 
new variety is extremely early, deep red, tender 
and sweet. One of the earliest and most perfectly 
shaped Beets. Its small-sized top and small, 
clean tap root, make it desirable. Its attractive 
appearance, uniformity of size, shape and color, 
and excellent keeping qualities have created a 
splendid demand for this sort. Grown very ex¬ 
tensively for late Fall sowing, as it matures two 
weeks earlier than any other desirable Beet. We 
urge that you give it a trial. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
%-lb., 35c; 1 lb.. $1.00.
