BEETS 
(I[talian—Bar babietole) 
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. 
e 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 
l 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,

5308 Beets for Greens. 
Pkt. 10e., oz. 25c:, 24 Iba75c: 













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 of the 
very best things for home garden growing. 


Broccoli, Italian 
BROCCOLI 
The cultural directions for Broccoli are just the 
same as for Cabbage. 
One ounce of seed produces about 1500 plants; 
8 ounces to the acre. 
5319 Italian, Breck’s Selected Stock. 120 
days. This is a very superior strain of this 
extremely popular and easily grown vege- 
table. It first produces a large and handsome 
center head, which, when cut, is followed by 
many smaller heads on offset branches. A 
continuous supply is thus enjoyed. We rec- 
ommend all home growers to give this a place 
in their gardens.
