BEET 
Beets may be planted almost all the year round where the tem- 
perature does not linger below 25 degrees. Sow the seed 1 inch 
deep in well prepared, moist soil in rows 8 or 10 inches apart, or on 
rides same as lettuce. Drill 8 pounds of seeds per acre. Thin out 
to one plant every 3 inches, and transplant the discarded plants in any 
convenient spot about the garden. The Egyptian is a small, dark 
red, flat, smooth variety. It is sweetest and best for table. Irrigate 
about every two weeks, unless the nature of the soil is such that 
more frequent irrigation is found to be necessary. Mulch the soil 
after each irrigation. Beets are ready for use in 10 weeks and con- 
tinue in prime condition for another 10 weeks. Two ounces of seed 
for 100 feet of row. 
Table Varieties 
Crosby’s Egyptian (Original Strain). 50 to 55 days. Splendid 
home and market garden sort. Tops medium in size; collar small. 
Root flattened globe-shape, with small tap root; very dark purplish- 
red. Flesh deep purplish-red zoned with a lighter shade; crisp and 
tender. Pkt. 10c.

table beets for home and market garden, shipping and for canning.

cal, with small collar and small tap root; very dark blood-red. In- 
terior very uniform in color, the zones so inconspicuous that the

tender and of highest quality until roots are full grown. Pkt. 10c. 
Early Wonder. 50 to 55 days. Very desirable for home and mar- 
ket garden. Tops small. Roots flattened globe-shape with small

BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER TYPE 
Similar to cauliflower in color, character of foliage, form, and size 
of heads. It requires a long growing season and is especially suited 
te 
to California and other Pacific Coast states. 
January March Late April 
February November-December St. Valentine 
Christmas March Early 
Pkts. 10 each. 
Christmas Calabrese, Green Sprouting. The leading variety for 
shippers, also used largely by market gardeners and in home 
gardens. A tall branching plant forms a central head of bluish 




green flower buds resembling a loose head of cauliflower. After 
the main head is removed, side branches continue to develop 
throughout the season, and frequently form small heads, which, 
with the stems, are cut and served in the same way as asparagus. It 
is a highly desirable, delicious vegetable, steadily gaining in favor.

KNOX’S IMPROVED CABBAGE 
No special care or soil is required to grow cabbage, as it will 
grow in any soil with proper cultivation, but good seed is extremely 
important with this crop. Like cauliflower and lettuce, it is not a 
good summer crop, as it will not head up in extremely hot weather. 
For fall and winter crop sow the seed in May and June, for spring 
and early summer sow in September and October. Transplant when 
the plants are about six weeks old 18 inches apart in rows 30 
inches apart. To keep heads from splitting when ripe, loosen the 
plants a little at the roots. 
First Early Varieties 
Copenhagen Market. 60 days; distinctly and uniformly early. 
Splendid for early market and shipment; proving valuable as early 
kraut variety. Plant small, compact, allowing very close planting; 
stems short; heads uniformly round; firm; become 6 to 7 in. di- 
‘ameter and weigh 3Y% to 4 Ibs. Interior clear white and of excellent 
quality. Pkt. 10c. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 62 days. Extremely early variety, 
very valuable for home and market garden as well as for shipment.
