Crosby’s Egyptian Beet. 

BEETS. 
CULTURE.—tThese 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 gocd condition. Sowings should be 
made for succession at least once a month 
up to the first of July, when we recom- 
mend 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- 
fect condition until spring. 1 oz. seed to 
100 ft. drill. 10 lbs. to acre. 
CROSBY’S EARLY EGYPTIAN.—One of 
the earliest and best on the market. It is 
more globular than the Extra Parly Egyp- 
tian. Especially good for market garden- 
ers and shipping. Packet, 5c.; oz., 10c.; 
1% lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid.
