1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
For an early crop, sow about April 15th and for the 
late crop about July 1st. Sow yi inch deep in rows 20 
inches apart. Thin to 12 inches. When nearly mature, 
the heart is blanched usually by tying leaves together 
over the center. This should be done only when leaves 
are dry. Moisture tends to rot the heart.

Seed should be sown as early as possible to prepare 
soil in spring, 2 inches apart and yi inch deep in 18 to 
36 inch rows. Seedlings should be thinned to 10 inches. 
GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE: 90 days. One of the 
best recommendations that we can give this variety, 
is that we sell twice as much seed as we do of the 
other three varieties put together. Desirable for 
stock and poultry feeding: yields not only a very 
large crop but one that has higher nutritive value 
because it is especially rich in sugar. I'he roots are 
rose colored above ground, white below, with white 
flesh. On account of growing partly out of the ground 
and the long ovoid shape, the crop can be harvested 
easily and at less expense than anv other root crop
