Plant Pole Beans—They Are More Productive Than Bush Varieties 
QUALITY TABLE BEETS 
Well-enriched, light soil is best adapted for Beet culture. 
Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover % inch. It is Important 
that the earth be pressed firmly about the seed. When the 
plants are large enough, thin to 3 to 4 inches apart. The 
thinnings can be used for greens if desired. Sow as soon as 
the ground can be worked, and continue for succession 
until the first of August. Mangels and Sugar Beets require 
Itberal manuring and should stand 6 to 10 inches apart in 
the rows. 
One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 Ibs. to one acre. 
All varieties, 10c per pkt.

of the most profitable varieties.

CABBAGE 
Crisp, Tight Heading, Tender 
Always be sure that your Cabbage seed is grown from 
well-formed, selected heads. The ground should be a heavy, 
moist, rich loam, highly manured, deeply dug or plowed 
and thoroughly worked. For early plants sow in mid- 
September, and protect in coldframes through the winter. 
The more common way is to sow in hotbeds in February or 
March, and prick out mto coldframes, to be transplanted 
when danger of frost is past. Early varieties should be set 
18 inches by 2 feet, fall and winter sorts 28 inches apart 
each way. The late autumn and winter varieties may be 
sown in a seedbed from the middle to end of spring, and 
transplanted when about 6 inches high. Shade and water 
in dry weather. See that the plants stand thinly in the seed- 
bed; if they come up thick, prick them out 4 to 6 inches 
apart. They can then be moved with earth attached, on a 
moist day, without damage. Transplant jlust at evening, 
giving each plant water at the root. Hoe more deeply every 
week as they grow, drawing up a little more earth each 
time, until they begin to head, when they should be hilled up. 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants.
