 growers on account of the length of season required to mature in the early frost coming on

 I,ima yet offered and fully two weeks earlier than most, consequently it will prove a boon 

 to thousands of growers. Earliness is often obtained at a sacrifice of other features, but in

Our beet is carefully grown from the very best stock seeds in the world. In addition to this, 



we take out of the ground each Beet and examine it carefully if the color is not a fine dark 



red, and it is not perfect in shape, and if it is late in ^naturing, "we will destroy it as 



we only save our seed from as near peifect roots as it is possible to groiv. 



Culture. Fibrous loam, well-drained and well-enriched, will raise good Beet crop. For 

 early table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as early 

 as the ground can be put in good shape. Or seed may be sown under glass four weeks sooner, 

 and the young seedlings transplanted to open. ground, to give an extra early crop. Give 

 thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. 

 For succession sow at intervals until the middle of July. For the earliest sowings a light 

 dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders. 



295. "Bon Fire" Bolgiano's Neiv Early Beet. (Specialty, see page 12.) A splendid 

 new variety especially adapted for market gardeners, being suited for forcing under glass 

 and for open ground culture. It is perfectly globe-shape and very early, maturing some 

 days before Crosby's Egyptian. The leaf, stalks and single, tiny tap root are very small, 

 making it valuable for both early and late sowing in frames. The skin is smooth, the flesh 

 is very sweet, solid and and an intense bright red in color. For home garden this Beet will 

 be found desirable as it retains its freshness and high quality without becoming tough.
