67. Wood’s Early Wonder (50 Days) —If earliness is de- 
sired, you have it in Wood’s Early 
Wonder, but you have most excellent quality as well. It is uni- 
form in size, shape and color, always smooth, never stringy, 
and a good keeper. The flesh is a deep rich red, sweet, crisp and 
tender. This is a fine beet to plant during the summer to grow a 
Supply to put away for next winter. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 lb. 30c;

68. Wood’s Crimson Globe (55, Pays)—Tf asked the ideal 
beet for the home garden we 
would unhesitatingly name Crimson Globe. The shape is nearly 
a perfect globe about 10 inches around, with smooth skin free 
from rootlets; the flesh is a rich blood-red, nicely ringed, never 
stringy, and always tender and sweet. Plant it for your main 
crop and again in June or July to have beets for next winter.

71. Extra Early Egyptian (45 Days)—In earliness no_ beet 
can compete with Extra Early 
Egyptian, adapting it for first early crop and forcing. It is about 
ten days earlier than Early Blood Turnip, makes fine, smooth, 
almost flat, very dark-red beets about 2 inches in diameter; 
firm, crisp and tender; has very small tops. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

69. Crosby’s Egyptian (50 Days)—Crosby’s is a combination 
of earliness, good shape, good color 
and good quality. The color is bright red with bright vermilion- 
red flesh, very sweet and tender. We have a splendidly bred 
pedigreed stock that is early, has fine shape and color, and we 
believe cannot be surpassed for quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

GARDEN BEETS 
For the earliest beets plant in a hot bed and transplant. For 
early outdoor crop plant in March and make successive plant- 
ings till the end of July; the late plantings are to make beets 
for winter use and the seeds should be well soaked before plant- 
ing. Beets thrive best in a light, clean, deeply worked soil that 
has been previously well manured; smooth roots cannot be had 
if fresh manure is used. Plant in rows 15 to 18 inches apart, 
cover one inch and thin to 4 inches apart. Store as recommended

Make the rows 2 to 2% feet apart, the drills one inch

plants may be transplanted to fill up vacancies. Culti- 
vate as soon as possible. When frost comes dig the 
roots, cut off the tops and pile on a well drained situa-

82. Golden Tankard and most largely grown yel- 
low mangel, and especially recommended for the 
dairyman on account of its milk producing properties 
and the richer quality of the milk. The flesh is firm

peculiar shape they can be grown closer-in the rows 
than most mangels, increasing the yield per acre con- 
siderably. Grows well above ground and easily pulled.
