BEETS 
One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 
6 pounds for an acre 
Best results are obtained by using a light soil that has been well enriched with manure. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, 
as soon as the ground is in workable condition, and for succession every two weeks until August. When the plants are well advanced thin out 
to 4 or 5 inches apart. A liberal sowing should always be made during July for a winter crop.

_ variety, one of the very best early Beets for the garden. In shape it is almost round, some¬

vor and fine grain. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 ets., Jib. 40 cts., lb. $1.25.
