Extra Early Egyttian BEETS Crosby's Egyptl\n Bastian's Half-ixjng Blood Remolacha, Sp. Ruhe, Ger. One ounce â will so'w 53 feet of drill; 6 lbs. for an acre. One of the earliest vegetables the garden yields and one of the first to be sown or planted into the garden. For an extra early supply, sow seeds in a hotbed or cold frame by middle of March. Be sure to press the soil in firm contact with the seeds to insure prompt and even germination. By middle of April, plants will be 4 inches tall, when they should be set out in the garden in rows 18 inches apart, with the seedlings four inches apart in the row. For a continuous supply throughout the season, make the first sowing outdoors along middle of April, and again every two weeks up to August 1st. To be most palatable, Beets should be eaten while quite young, when the bulbs average two inches in diameter, no more. To secure a good start outdoors, the gardener should always walk over the rows after the seeds are sown. To secure a uniformly well shaped product, seedlings should be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Those that are pulled up wiH make good greens or may be transplanted into other rows. 140 Bastian's Half-Long Blood. An excellent variety 161 Early Model. 'Very early, round and a rich blood-red.
