Culture. One pound will plant 50 hills, 30 pounds per acre. 
The soil should be mellow, rich and warm. Lay the ground 
out in hills 4 feet apart each way, and set poles 8 to 10 feet 
long firmly in the hills before planting the seed. Plant 5 or 6 
beans in a hill and cover about 2 inches deep; leave three 
plants at each pole, and when a few inches high draw a little 
earth around them as support. Set the poles before the plants 
have grown to large size; many gardeners consider it an ad¬ 
vantage to set the poles when planting, thus avoiding dis¬ 
turbing the small plant or its roots.

Culture. Well enriched, light soil is best adapted for the cul¬ 
ture of beets. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover half inch. 
It is important that the earth be pressed firmly about the 
seed. When the plants are large enough, thin to 4 inches 
apart. Use thinnings for greens if desired. For early crop, 
sow as soon as the ground can be worked, anti continue for 
succession until the first of July. Liberal manuring should 
be done for Mangels and Sugar Beets. They should stand 
10 to 12 inches apart in the rows.

eter. Roots smooth, even in size and shape, and almost per¬ 
fectly globular; collar and tap-roots very small; interior deep 
crimson, free from white zones. If you know the superior 
excellence of Detroit Dark Red, you will need little intro¬
