GARDEN BEETS 
Beets grow best in moderately rich, light loam. Sow the seed as soon as 
the ground becomes fit to work, in drills 18 inches apart, 1 inch deep. 
EARLY WONDER —A very fine market and table beet. This is an 
early beet with a very small taproot, also small top, and is of excep¬ 
tionally fine dark color. The beets are slightly flattened and mature 
very evenly so that when you commence to pull on a field of them 
you may pull the entire crop clean. Ripens so early it will mature 
two crops in one season on same field. Ready for use in 45 days.
