Detroit Dark Red Beet 
BEETS 
The ground should be spaded well and deep, spac- 
ing rows 12 inches apart. Seed may be sown at 
two-week intervals from early spring to mid-July, 
in drills 4% inch deep. The soil should be firmed 
by walking along the row. When seedlings are 
about 3 inches above ground, they. should be 
thinned to 3 inches to give ample space for root 
development. Plants thinned out make excellent 
boiled greens. Beets are best for pulling when 
about 2 inches in diameter. A few radish seed 
sown in the beet rows will come through first, 
clearly marking the row. If the radishes are pulled 
when they are mature, the beet crop will not be 
reduced. Beets may be kept in boxes of sand stored 
in a cellar or outdoor pit for winter use. Their use 
for pickles is well known.

garden, Crimson Globe has the advantage

CABBAGE 
Early cabbage should be sown indoors in February 
and March, and in the open ground during April 
and May. Seed should be sown an inch deep. 
Early kinds may be planted in rows 2 4 feet apart, 
with 18 inches between plants. Late kinds should 
be 24% feet apart each way. To be well grown, 
cabbages require a deep, rich, loamy soil. Should 
the soil be too rich, some late kinds may show signs 
of bursting. If this occurs, push the plants over to 
one side and so check their growth. 
Days to maturity are determined from time seed- 
Iings are set out.
