BEETS. 



German, Runkel Rube. 



(One ounce of seed will sow one hundred feet of drill.)

 decomposed compost or a good chemical fertilizer. Sow 

 in drills, fourteen to sixteen inches apart, and cover one 

 inch deep. When the young- plants appear, thin to four 

 or five inches apart. For early use. sow as soon as the 

 ground can be worked in the spring; for autumn use, 

 about the middle of May; and for winter use, during June 

 or July, according to variety— the long varieties requiring 

 more time to mature than the round early kinds.

This new extra early Beet is remarkable for its fine 

 quality and rapid growth, is of deep red color and hand- 

 some shape; as an early market sort it is unrivaled. It is, to 

 a large extent, superseding the Egyptian, being earlier in 

 development, more attractive in appearance, and of su- 

 perior quality for the table. We have never known a 

 market gardener to try it but who wanted it again.

 stock, and as they 

 grow larger than

 quire more room.

 sown from April

 feet apart, and the 

 plants thinned to 

 twelve or fifteen 

 inches in the row. 

 The attention of 

 f a r mers to the 

 growing of Beets

 creased, but it

 results in the

 tion of the stock. 

 It supplies good, 

 rich food for cattle 

 during the winter.
