WE ARE SORRY that short seed crops, and the war in Europe, have caused a scarcity of High Quality Seeds of strong 
vitality. We regret, also, that this has resulted in an increase in cost of Beet seed. 
RED BEETS 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds, an acre. 
Yield in from 8 to 11 weeks. 
CuttureE. Seed may be sown from early sprin 
to mid-July. The ground should be spaded wel 
and deep, placing rows about 18 inches apart, and 
the drills 1 inch deep. Cover the seed carefully and 
firm in the ground by walking over the drills. When 
seedlings appear about 3 aches above ground, thin 
out to about 4 inches between the plants so as to 
give ample room for the proper development of 
the roots. Beets are best for pulling when about 2 
inches in size,
