TABLE BEETS 
One package of seed planted 2 inches apart, 
will make a row about 25 feet long; one ounce 
will make a row 100 feet long. If you like greens, 
especially ‘‘Beet Greens, sow the seed thickly in 
a broad row 4 to 6 inches wide, and when the 
tops are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin out and use the 
tops and roots as greens. This method of sowing 
takes one ounce of seed for 20 feet of row. 
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, 
sandy loam. Sow seed 1 inch deep, in drills 16 
inches apart, as early as possible. If wanted very 
early, sow in hotbeds and transplant to open 
ground. Thin to stand 3 to 4 inches apart. Culti- 
vate closely and thoroughly. For succession, sow 
at intervals until middle of July. Beet seed must 
have moisture in the soil to make it germinate.

Detroit Dark Red Beet 
DETROIT DARK RED 
For canning either whole, sliced or cubed when 
the bulbs are over 2 inches in diameter this strain 
of Detroit is by far the best. 
The most popular table and canning Beet grown. 
As a second-early variety, we recommend it for 
the home and market garden. Our special strain 
is more uniform in shape and color than the old 
Detroit Dark Red. The tops and tap roots are 
small and the leaves dark green, shaded red. 
Beets are round, smooth, and very dark red in 
skin and flesh. In tenderness and sweetness they 
are unsurpassed. Pkg. 15¢; "oz, 356" 4 Ibe 75e¢ 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 
This is the best kind to grow when you want to 
use Beets when very small, say up to 2 inches 
in diameter. 
Our special strain of this popular variety is 
better in many respects than the old one. It is 
globular, perfectly smooth, with short tap root, 
and both skin and flesh dark in color. Much 
earlier than all other dark-fleshed varieties. That 
it is the very best early Beet for home or market 
gardens is amply proved by the many favorable 
comments that come to us.
