DE JONG FLORAL AND SEED CO., PELLA, IOWA BEET—Continued One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill The soil which is best suited for the culture of the beet is that which is rather light, provided that it is thoroughly enriched with manure. For an early supply sow in spring, as soon as the ground becomes fit to work; about the middle of May for general crop, in drills eighteen inches apart and one and a half inches deep. As the plants grow, thin four to six inches in the drills. The young plants make excellent greens. The seed will germinate more freely if soaked in warm water for twenty-four hours before sowing; keep free from weeds by hand weeding or hoeing. In October the roots may be taken up and stored' in cellar or put in pits outside like potatoes, care being taken that they are not bruised or injured in the process. From four to six pounds will sow an acre. CROSBY'S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN. The earliest Beet in the market.
