BEETS 
CULTURE. Any well-prepared light garden soil will pro- 
duce good beets, although a rich, sandy loam brings the 
best resuits. Sow the seed about 1 inch deep in rows 15 
to 24 inches apart. When plants are about 6 inches high 
they should be thinned to 3 or 4 plants to the foot. Those 
taken out at this time make excellent greens.

- CABBAGE 
Cabbage is one of the best vegetable sources of Vitamin C—also 
rich in Vitamins B and G. Green leaves are ten times as rich in 
Vitamin A as white bleached leaves. Help to keep your digestion, 
glands, nerves and organs in tone. As a tonic, food, and medicine, 
it is one of Nature’s best. 
YELLOW RESISTANT VARIETIES LISTED ON PAGE 5. 
CULTURE FOR EARLY CABBAGE. Seed of the early va- 
rieties should be sown % of an inch deep in a greenhouse, 
hotbed or in boxes in the house, about 6 weeks before the 
plants are needed for planting out. One-fourth pound of 
seed produces enough plants for one acre. 
If, when the second leaves appear, the plants can be trans- 
planted, spacing them 3 inches apart, better and more hardy 
plants will be obtained. 
As soon as the soil can be worked in the spring the plants 
should be removed to the open field and set in rows 2 feet 
apart each way. 
CULTURE FOR LATE CABBAGE. The seed may be sown in 
rows one foot apart or broadcast in the garden, about the 
middle of May, and the plants set in the field in June. 
MATURITY FIGURES. After the name of most vegetable 
varieties you will find figures representing the approximate 
number of days required to mature the plants, from the 
time of planting the seed to the time the vegetables are 
ready to eat.
