CULTURE—For very early crop the seed should be sown 
in hotbeds or started in boxes in the house in January and 
February. After danger of frost s past, transplant and 
set them in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, and 6 inches apart in 
the rows. Or they can be sown outside from March to 
July, as desired, for medium, early or late crop in drills, 
covering 1 inch and plants thinned to 6 inches. * Beets 
should be grown in light, clean, deep soil, and kept well 
cultivated. Two ounces of seed will sow 100 feet of row | 
and about 7 lbs. are required for an acre. It is best to 
soak the seed overnight before planting.

it is medium early, coming in several days later than the 
extra earlies. The roots are of good uniform size, slightly 
oval and of a deep blood red, has slim tap root, fine grain, 
tender and sweet. Never gets stringy or woody. Pkt. 5c;
