Harrisburg Market), also for second crop, fall, and 
winter crops.

today for we annually receive thousands and thousands 
of orders from all over America and annually sell 
enormous quantities of it.

of very superior quality, richly flavored, and is very 
smooth, clean, and of a very uniform shape and size, 
bunching up attractively. Ready to use in 55 to 60 days.

Sow the seed as soon as the ground 
can be properly worked. Make the 
rows 12 inches apart for hand cultivation; 
cover the seed 1 inch; thin out the 
plants to stand 3 to 4 inches in the row; cultivate often; keep clean 
of weeds. Successive plantings may be made every 3 weeks until 
August 1. You will then have Beets all summer, with the last crop 
for winter use. At this last planting put out all you can to provide 
for your own use, for canning, and for selling all winter. This is 
one of the important crops so necessary to provide for winter vege- 
tables. Beets require just 50 days from planting of the seed to harvest 
for early varieties and from 60 to 70 and 80 days for the later 
varieties. One ounce will sow a row of 50 feet; 5 to 6 pounds to
