sandy loam is most favorable, but nearly all types of soil will 
produce Beets if sufficiently fertilized and properly tilled. All

they should be thinned to 8 or 10 inches apart. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz.

or clay loan. Cultivation is the same as for Mangel Wurzel.

2/3 above ground. Light gray tinged with brown above, and 
orange yellow below ground. Flesh firm, white, rich in sugar,

form, and size of heads. It requires a long growing season 
and is especially suited to Pacific Coast States. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 90c;

ferent from the white heading sorts. Cultivated like cabbage, 
it bears a succession of sprouting heads which, if kept cut, will 
be replaced by others for 8 to 10 weeks. Each sprout, about 5 
inches long, ends in a small head of deep green buds. It is 
one of the most delicious green vegetables.
