UALITY in Beets is measured by an 
even, globular shape, uniformity in size, 
~ bright, even color, flavor, fine texture 
_and tenderness. Here, as with all vegetables, 
_the difference between a fine and a mediocre 
strain of one variety may be as great as be- 
tween different varieties. : 
_ Our best seed is grown only from trans- 
_ planted roots, which are taken up in the fall, 
carefully graded, stored over the winter and 
transplanted again in the spring. Only Beets 
which conform to. the highest quality stand- 
rds are planted for seed. Thus improvement 
_is shown annually. Gta 
While this extra care increases the cost of 
th d, the increase is small compared with 
the added value which improved quality 
_ gives to the crop. _ 
Quantity needed to sow: 15 ft. row, 1 pkt.; 60
