RED BEETS 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds, an acre. 
Yield in from 8 to 11 weeks. 
Culture. Seed may be sown from early spring 
to mid-July. The ground should be spaded well 
and deep, placing rows about 18 inches apart, and 
the drills 1 inch deep. Cover the seed carefully and 
firm in the ground by walking over the drills. When 
seedlings appear about 3 inches above ground, thin 
out to about 4 inches between the plants so as to 
give ample room for the proper development of 
the roots. Beets are best for pulling when about 2 
inches in size.

barely a foot — and gray-green. Flesh

S. & W. Co.’s Winter Keeper. A distinct 
strain of a main-crop, globe-shaped Beet 
produced by many years of painstaking 
selection. Two leading characteristics of 
this Beet are: the uniformly excellent 
flavor of its flesh and the remarkable man¬ 
ner in which this quality is preserved 
during winter storage. Beets are almost 
globe-shaped, tapering somewhat toward 
the root. The flesh is dark red, sweet and 
tender. A portion of the crop may be 
stored in a cellar or pit until spring. Pkt.
