A light, rich soil is essential to the production of good Beets. In preparing the garden, dig in a generous 
supply of well-rotted manure and a commercial fertilizer rich in potash. Fresh manure should never be used. 
The seed may be sown in the Spring just as soon as the soil has dried out enough so that it is easily workable. 
Successive plantings may be made until late July. Sow the seed thinly in drills and cover to a depth of about 
1 inch. At least 15 inches should be allowed between rows. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill, 6 pounds 
to the acre.

There is no crop more easily grown than 
“a mess of Beet greens.” A row or two can 
be tucked in here or there as a catch crop 
at any time from early Spring to as late as 
September 1. The “Greens” remain in good 
eating condition for several weeks after 
they are first big enough to pull. Compared 
with Spinach, Turnip Tops or Mustard 
Greens, they represent a real delicacy. It 
is only rarely that they are obtainable in 
the market. They are therefore one cf the 
very best things for home garden growing.

same as for Cabbage-

8 ounces to the acre.

ommend all home growers to give this a place 
in their gardens. Pkt. 25c., oz. 60c.,
