FRENCH SUGAR BEET. 



We have just received a fresh lot of French Sugar Beet ol 

 this year's growth. Tnc cultivation of the Beet for tl e man- 

 ufacture of sugar, is exciting the attention of farmers gene- 

 r.Tlly throughout the country, and bids fair to be one of the 

 most impoiiant branches of domestic industry. Sandy soi s 

 formed by alluvions and deposits of rivers are very favorabio 

 to the growta of beets ; but the best soils for the purpose are 

 those t.iat have the greatest depth of vegetable mould. The 

 produce from an acre is very great. Two and a half pounds 

 is requi.site toseed an acre. The seed may be sown broad- 

 cast, or in drills. We confidently recommend the artirlehere 

 offered. It is pure and of the right kind, selected wi:h great 

 care /lom imported roots. For sale at tho New England f^eed 

 Store, by JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
