Imperial, Norbiton Giant, Long Egyptian, Carter's Improved 



the Long Yellow, and the Siles- 

 ian varieties of Sugar Beet. The 

 Ox Horn is a very crooked grow- 

 ing variety, as its name would 

 imply, with a small diameter in 



proportion to its great length. 

 Growing almost wholly out of 

 ground it curves about so in 

 the row as to be decidedly in 

 the way, is apt to break when 

 pulled and in addition to these 

 defects, storing very badly, it is 

 not in any way desirable. The 

 Norbiton Giant, Carter's Mam- 

 moth Long Red, Sutton's Impe- 

 rial, and Long Elvethan are im- 

 provements over the common 

 Long Red in a greater uniform- 

 ity in their habit of growth, their 

 size, and a less liability to grow 

 hollow at the top at the ad-
