Fordhook Bush Lima No. 242—75 days. This 
strain of Fordhook was developed by the 
U.S.D.A.: Its outstanding characteristics 
are its ability to set beans under adverse 
weather conditions. The seed is slightly 
smaller than the old type of Fordhook, but 
the green shell beans are identical, and the 
yield is much heavier. The pods contain 3 to 
4 beans which are thick, meaty and of the 
finest quality. Superb for canning and 
freezings.

Henderson's Bush Lima—This is the earliest

BEETS 
Beets are one of the most healthful of veg- 
etables, containing more elements which the 
human system needs than almost any other. 
Beets grow in moderately light, sandy soil. 
For very early crops, sow in hot-beds and 
transplant the seedlings as soon as the weather 
is warm enough into open ground; for regular 
crop, plant outside as soon as the ground is in 
good condition; plant in drills and cover about 
1 inch deep. When the seedlings are 4 to 5 
inches high, thin them out to stand 4 to 5 
inches apart in the row. An ounce of seed will 
sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds to the acre. 
A complete plant food will increase quality and 
yield. 
Detroit Dark Red—58 days. A very popular 
sort used extensively by market gardeners 
as well as private planters. It matures early, 
and the roots are of splendid shape and good 
color. The tops are small and upright-grow- 
ing, which makes possible close planting. The 
roots are globular and smooth, the skin is 
dark, blood red, the flesh red with lighter 
zones. The beets are very tender, firm and 
crisp, and remain so for a long time.
