Sea Kale Beet. This beet is grown for its leaves 
only. The middle of the leaf or midrib is 
cooked and served like asparagus. The other 
portions of the leaf may be used like spinach. 
The seed should be sownin spring in drills, a 
foot apart. This beet does not make a large 
root, but is a delicious summer vegetable when 
cut young and used for ‘greens’? or when ma- 
tured and used inthe manner already described.

HALF-LONG BLOOD.—An excellent main 
crop or late beet; a great favorite as a field sort. 
It combines gocd table quality with highest 
stock feeding value. It is a large cropper and 
reliable winter keeper. The rootis more taper- 
ing than the turnip shaped beets, and reaches 
deeper into the soil. The flesh is dark red, tender 
and sweet; foliage rich and dark. This standard 
beet is an old favorite with market men and 
stock owners, and has no defects. It is the best 
of its class, and can be turned to great economic 
account by reason of its enormous yield and 
high food value. Its freedom from woody 
fibre or toughness is one of its main character- 
y istics, but its leading feature is its shape, which 
is intermediate between the globe-shaped and 
the long beets. It has for many years been a 
favorite with both gardeners and farmers.
