GARDEN BEETS “ 
Tor the earliest beets plant in a hot bed and transplant. For early outdoor crop plant In march 
and make successive planting's till the end of July; the late plantings are to make beets for win¬ 
ter use and the seeds should be well soaked before planting. Beets thrive best in a light, clean, 
deeply worked soil that has been previously well manured; smooth roots cannot be had if fresh 
manure is used. Plant in rows 15 to 16 inches apart, cover one inch and thin to 4 inches apart. 
Store as recommended on page 15 for storing carrots. One ounce will plant 50 feet of row; 6 to 8 
lbs. one acre.

and color, always smooth, never stringy, and a good keeper. 
The flesh is a deep rich red, sweet, crisp and tender. Although 
bred primarily for market growers, its many fine qualities 
commend it highly to the home gardener. This is a fine beet to 
plant during the summer to grow a supply to put away for 
next winter. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; }4 lb. 25c; lb. 85c; 2-lb. lots 750
