White French Sugar Beet, a well known variety, cultivated for feeding to cattle .10 .40 
Lane’s Improved Sugar Beet. Mr. Lane has made great improvements in the 
Sugar Beet by a careful and continuous selection of roots saved for seed; 
yields very large and profitable crops ; used only for cattle.10 .40 
German Imperial Sugar Beet, the best variety to cultivate for sugar. The seed 
we offer is from the same grower whose seed we have sold to the extent of 
about 25,000 lbs., and which produced roots of the finest quality, as high as 
30 tons per acre, yielding an average of 10 per cent, of sugar. To insure the 
greatest success, the seed should be planted as early in spring as the ground 
can be worked, for it requires unquestionably the exceedingly moist condition 
of the soil in early spring in order to freely germinate. By planting early the 
beets gain a start over the weeds which is kept up throughout the season, thus 
making the expense of cultivating much less than when the seed is planted 
late, which enables the weeds to gain the mastery.10 .40
