Lots of time has been spent 
to get you only the finest kind 
of beets. On some of the va- 
rieties we have even sent to 
Europe after the seed. We like 
beets of uniform shape and 
color, with smali tops, small 
tap root, free from the straggly 
side roots. One ounce of seed 
will grow a 100-foot row. Plant 
as soon as you can get in the 
ground in the spring and make 
several sowings throughout the 
season.
