GARDEN OR TABLE BEETS. 
CULTURE.—These are of universal cul- 
ture, but we would emphasize the import- 
ance of using improved strains which will 
produce the finest and smoothest root with 
a minimum amount of foliage. Make fre- 
quent sowings in order that a constant 
supply of tender young roots may be had 
throughout the season. When allowed to 
get too old, the roots become hard, have 
a woody fiber, and to a great extent lose 
their sweet flavor. Seeds may be sown as 
early in spring as the ground can be worked 
in a good condition. Sowings should be 
made for succession at least once a month 
up to the Ist of July, when we recommend 
a large sowing to produce a supply of 
well-grown roots for winter use. If the 
roots are gathered on the approach of cold 
weather and packed in slightly moist earth, 
they can be kept in a cool cellar in per- 
feet condition until spring. 1 oz. seed to 
100 ft. drill, 10 lbs. to acre.
