EARLY WONDER—A very fine market and 
table beet. This is an early beet with a very 
small tap root, small top and is of exception- 
ally fine dark red color. The beets are slightly 
flattended and mature very evenly. For a table 
as well as a canning variety we cannot rec- 
ommend it too highly.

all- purpose beet. Sweet, tender and fine 
grained.

Stock Beets are recognized as a very valu- 
able stock food. 
CULTURE—Sow seed 1 inch deep in well cul- 
tivated soil in drilled rows 18 inches to 3 feet 
apart, the distance depending on the method 
of cultivation. When large enough, thin plants 
to 10 inches apart in the row. About 8 pounds 
is required per acre. As beets germinate 
slowly, the seed should be planted in moist 
soil. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED — The roots of 
variety grow to a very large size. 
GOLDEN TANKARD—Contains more sugar and 
less water than any other Mangel. 
GIANT HALF SUGAR—A very hearty yielder.

CULTURE—In the warm sections Beets 
may be planted from August 1 until May 1. 
In the higher altitudes planting may com- 
mence as soon in the spring as weather 
conditions will allow. Two ounces of seed 
will plant 100 feet of row and 8 to 10 
pounds are required per acre. Plant in 
rows of 18 to 24 inches apart and thin to 3 
or 4 inches in the row. Cover the seed 4 
inch deep and firm the soil after pianting. 
Beets enjoy a light, rich, loamy soil, and 
frequent cultivation is necessary for rapid 
and tender growth.
